Hi All, first off i'd like to put it out there that i don't usually use forums so correct me if i'm doing something wrong and i apologise for length of this! Okay, so i've decided to return to my roots after a few years of using MacBooks and games consoles and start using Windows PC of gaming again, but this time i'd like to make my own. It's quite clear by this point that i am new to this but creating my own PC was highly recommended and personally i'm quite interested. So the guidance that i'm after is in selecting the components to create the system that i need. Currently i have a basic understanding of what is needed and how they work but i feel like i'm missing out on a few things, so could anyone help me out here. What i'd appreciate is a list of each component's that i'd need to build from scratch and maybe the prices (I've get all the CPU, Graphics cards etc but get confused with things like wifi hardware, sound cards etc).
I understand that somewhere (probably at the top) of this forum and other sites (pcgamer) there is updated information on this but i'd like to see what any of you would come up with specifically for me. My budget is up (hopefully less) £2000 ($2446) and want to try and focus on as high performance as i can, remembering that this is intended to be a gaming PC that i will upgrade in future but want to separate that time as much as i can for now. I'd also like to mention that this idea was hugely influenced by the upcoming release of Star Citizen (for those who understand its specs etc), but would also like to be able to revisit some of the oldies i have. Keep in mind that i won't be buying any parts until around christmas so please mention any competent releases or deals and discounts that i should note. I also work with a lot of Visual/Audio and 3D image design which work steadily on my mac for now but would like to play about with on the PC.
What a story and thanks all..
