Hello folks, I would be greatly appreciative of some advice and tips with my build. I'm building a rig pretty much solely for gaming, perhaps 1 or 2 small apps but that's it.
My aim is for 1080p gaming at maxed settings, and moving into 1440p as my finances allow. My first love a and catalyst for building is total war games so that's what I'm shooting for at 1080p at least.
My budget is approx £800-£950, it's not really fixed to anything I'm just keen to save money where money can be saved, but not afraid to spend a little extra if it would make a noticeable difference or future proof the rig a little more. I'm also getting it custom built since I'm a complete novice, not particularly technical and my job doesn't give me much time to learn how to build or actually complete the process. My tentative build is as follows...
Cpu- Intel i5 6500
Cooler- cooler master 213x
Ram- crucial 8gb
Graph card- RX 480 or GTX 1060 (looking for advice here)
Motherboard-gigabyte H110m-s2h
Hard drive- Samsung 250 GB 750 evo SSD
Case- CIT Dragon3
Case fans- aero cool Air Force12cm
PSU- 550w corsair VS
Internet- wireless 802.11N
My goal is to build a 1080p that will can handle high level 1440p in the future and that will remain future proof for the foreseeable future. I'm also keen to make sure as much as possible that the nothing goes wrong cause I doubt my capacity to fix it, so air flow and coolness are important. Plus future upgradability is also a factor.
Any help and advice would be very, very much appreciated, thanks in advance.
P.s, really quick noob question. How do I plug the hdmi cable into the motherboard, is there a slot on the case or already or what?
