Hi all,
Christmas wish list includes the need to be able to play Star Citizen after upgrading my son's desktop we built 2 years ago. I want something that may last at least 2 years. So, I am looking at the following: an asterisk (*) means I already have it and would like to keep it...
Approximate Purchase Date: this week
Budget Range: 1000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, music, videos, homework...
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: GPU/CPU
Do you need to buy OS: No
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.com
Location: Washington
Parts Preferences: Intel and EVGA
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Additional Comments: I would like to reuse as much as possible.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: to play Star Citizen

We already have the keyboard, mouse and speakers with monitor.
NOTE: had the wrong MB listed. I verified the correct one today, sorry.
So, do you all feel this would be a decent build for Star Citizen and other similar games? I already have windows 10. Thanks!
