Hey guys,
A friend of mine told me about this site, and after doing some browsing I'm still having trouble getting things sorted out, so um... why not ask? Right? Anyway, I'm building my first computer after 5 hard years with Dell, and want something to really call my own, and something I can rely on.
I'm almost entirely computer-less at the moment, so I want to get this resolved as soon as possible, but I got Skyrim for my xbox, so I have plenty of patience.
My budget is a max of 600 dollars or less, but I may be a bit more flexible due to the upcoming holidays.
I don't need a hard drive, or disk drives, as I can just salvage those from my old system. I hope. Nothing else really worth taking from there... As for external devices, I will keep using all my peripherals, keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, etc... since they have all been upgraded already.
I am thinking of going with an AMD CPU, due to their cost, and want to stick with a NVidia card for graphics. I'm trying to do a lot of research on parts, but there is a lot to learn for me still. I also want to go with 8 gigs of ram, but if that's too pricy I may stick with 4.
No overcloking, or crossfire, or anything fancy, I just want a good, durable system to play games on, most notably Skyrim. (I'm going to trade in that xbox version once I get a new PC. >.>; )
Anyway, thanks ahead of time for any and all advice.
