Hello, I am trying to figure out what will work with what. I am a college student, and so if possible I'd like to keep my budget under $600. I infrequently use Adobe Illustrator for work and would like to have a computer that can handle infrequent gaming on something such as Subnautica. I am not an advent gamer- in fact, I have never gamed before, but I have wanted to try it for a while. I'm not too worried about it looking amazing, as long as it plays. Mostly, though, the computer will be used for office-type work.
I think I am looking for a processor that can handle 3Ghz, 4 core.
I recently found a deal on Micro center for a AMD FX 8320E Black Edition PileDriver 3.2 GHz Eight-Core AM3+ Boxed Processor bundled with a ASRock 970A-G/3.1 AM3+ ATX AMD Motherboard for $121. I think this is complete overkill but it seems like a good deal. Are there any graphics cards and/or other parts you could recommend? Or perhaps other processors/ motherboards?
Also, do you have any suggestions on memory or storage? Or perhaps RAID level 1 (I have a thesis in progress that I'm a bit paranoid of losing).
A list of all the parts and components I will need would also be extremely helpful.It will need to connect to wifi and ethernet as well as being bluetooth compatible. Any advice on how to do that would be greatly appreciated!
So far, I think I need:
CPU
Motherboard
Memory
Storage
Case
Power Supply
Fans
SSD
CPU cooling (?)
Optical drive
Graphics Card
Anything else?
Thank you very much for taking the time to offer any advice. I apologize for any stupid questions.
