Hey, I'm building a PC for a friend. Basically, he wants to spend about $500 every two weeks on parts and buy them all over a 6 week period. I told him it's not the smartest way to do it because of sales, but he doesn't care. It's how he wants to budget.
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.:
- Starting in a week, ending 7 weeks from now (see above)
Budget Range: (e.g.: 300-400)
$1500 in total (after tax, shipping, and rebates)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: (e.g.: Folding@Home, gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies)
Gaming/Internet browsing
Are you buying a monitor:
Yes, x34 Predator. This is not included in the budget. I want to run it at 95hz in 1440p
Parts to Upgrade:
Everything except mouse, keyboard, and monitor
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, Windows 10
Preferred websites:
My friend lives in Utah. Any site will do as long as it's convenient and safe.
Location: Midvale, utah
Parts Preferences:
Doesn't matter.
Overclocking: Probably just the x34 Predator.
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 3440x1400. My friend will also get another 1440p monitor in the future, there will be light multitasking
Additional Comments: My friend Is definitely into aesthetics. Performance / price is the most important..but if a case is a few bucks more and looks better (I know it's subjective, I trust your opinion) then I'd prefer the better looking one.
A range of games will be played. Anything from new AAA games to 10 year old games.
Thank you for the help. I'll be back in a few weeks asking for advice on my own pc too!
