Considering upgrading/replacing. $1200 gaming build
Last response: in Systems
Howdy!
I will be "building" my daughter a build(which actually means stripping mine and gifting it to her, thereby building myself a new one)
So looking for someone to kick some builds my way, for the sake of variety.
Approximate Purchase Date: by Christmas
Budget Range: $1200 USD-ish
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming/Beast
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: All
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com
Location: Phoenix AZ
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU, quality PSU.
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: 5760x1080
Additional Comments: No flashy stuff. Quiet case. Preferably air cooled. Also would like a 128GB SSD to fit into the budget. HDD not necessary, pulling my Samsung 1TB from current build. If need be I can also pull my NH-D14 from my current build too.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: SnGs
