Hello all,
I am looking for some general advice (or any advice) on building a new rig for the first time. I have done some research myself but there's a lot of info out there and even more products. I want to build a good base that will play Skyrim on High or even Ultra (my goal). I want to spend around $1000 preferably less, but I'll put out for quality. Any suggestions, advice, anything would be greatly appreciated.
Approximate Purchase Date: Next month or two. Probably have to buy piece by piece.
Budget Range: 500-1000.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Gaming, some more gaming, and internet (netflix)
Parts Not Required: Need just about everything
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Tigerdirect, but open to suggestions
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: I'm probably going to get a midtower case, i5 2500k processor, other than that I am open to suggestions.
Overclocking: Maybe, I would like to have the option. Even if I never do it.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, same as above.
Monitor Resolution: Don't know at the moment. Probably be the last thing I buy.
Additional Comments: Doesn't have to be the prettiest thing on earth. I just want to have a decent computer.
