Hey guys. I used to build rigs pre-2007 and have since stopped. Not only that, but I pretty much stopped gaming since then. I've been completely out of the loop from both a gaming standpoint and technologically speaking, so I will need all the help I can get coming up with a new rig. I don't plan on doing any MMORPGs and will mostly be doing FPS (online mostly) / RTS / Action-Adventure type games. I don't care about VR and I don't care about having the latest <insert latest resolution here> experience. I just want to be able to play those style games listed above without much lag, if any. Keeping this under $1,000 would be preferable but, not necessary. Just please keep in mind I'm not a hardcore gamer.
Things I don't need:
- OS
- Monitor
- I have a 1tb external drive for backups/storage
- I don't plan on overclocking. Never done it before. Not sure if it would fit my needs
Things I'd like to have:
- I plan on getting a 24-27" monitor. Not sure how important that is when considering a GPU
- I'd like to also have a quality SSD 500gb (is 1tb recommended?)
- If I can have a microATX case (mini-tower?) while still being able to use standard components, I'd prefer that. Otherwise, ATX will do
That's pretty much all I can think of for now. Thanks!
