Hey there, my name is James and I need a little advice on building my first gaming pc. Below you’ll find a handy list that tells you my budget and whatnot. Thanks for any advice you guys can give!
Approximate Purchase Date: few weeks to a month from now
Budget Range: 600 even for tower components
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (Guild wars 2, Crysis 3, Blops 2) video rendering since I have a channel on youtube
Parts Not Required: OS, mouse, keyboard, ect, this budget is for the tower.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: not really a preference
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: AMD, everyone I ask seems to tell me i5 2500k or 2600k but they are simply too expensive for my build. GPU everyone seems to recommend a 6850 so I’ll probably chose that.
Overclocking: yes, although this is my first build I definitely want to overclock some
SLI or Crossfire: not for now although it be great if I could upgrade later
Monitor Resolution: not really sure, what is a good resolution? Something around 1280 by 720 perhaps???
Additional Comments: Been a console gamer since I was young and just want to branch out into PC gaming. Want a good simple build that I can have fun overclocking and building but like nothing totally insane. Since I have a YouTube channel video rendering power is also a big plus.
