Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP, but withing 2 weeks for sure.
Budget Range: I would like to spend around $800 CAD. I am a little flexible. I don't want to spend more then I have to, but I also don't want to regret a purchase 2 months down the road becasue I was to cheap to shell out an extrea $100... if that makes sense
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Mostly gaming, also for use in a home recording studio. If it can handle games, it will handle my recording programs...
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, but I never throught about that in my original budget. I don't need it right away, so I may hold off a little while. Suggest are still welcomed
Parts to Upgrade: I need everything!!
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: new egg, or any other Canadian site with good prices.
Location: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Parts Preferences: I was thinking intel I5 cpu, but like the title says, I'm a noob so you guys prob know much more about this stuff then I.
Overclocking: no sure?
SLI or Crossfire: not sure??
Additional Comments: Quiet would be good for in the studio.
Why Are You Upgrading: My xbox died last week, and my 4 year old laptop is on its way out
Basically, I'm a complete noob when it comes to current computer specs. I just need a pc that can run my favourite games such as skyrim, battlefield, cod...etc. I will also be using it in my studio, so if it can run those games, I don't see why it couldnt run Cubase 5.
Is there any info that I'm missing??
Cheers,
