Let me preface this by saying this would be my first attemp at building my own computer so any guides or how to's that you guys have would be wonderful as well. I feel as though this is something I can handle and will be researching, but the opinions and thoughts of all of you will be wonderful.
Secondly, I plan on building this over the next half year or so. A piece here and there as I can afford it. (Married and have 3 girls, so a new toy like this for me isn't very high on priorities.) So, that being said, a plan of attack as far as order I should get hardware etc. would be great as well.
I will be using this mostly for gaming. Right now I'm using a stock Best Buy special...lol the HP p7-1254. I plan on being active in Elder Scrolls Online and some upcoming games.
By building this myself, I'd like to keep in mind future upgradeability as well. Price is definately important though. While I don't need "THE BEST", I'd like this to be a system I could be proud of for quite a while. The price point isn't set in stone, as I plan on building it over time. If I can come in under 1200 and have a pretty awesome system, of course I would be ecstatic. Cheaper I can build it, sooner I can use it
! Thanks in advance...
Approximate Purchase Date: Will begin getting parts ASAP using suggestions from the community as far as order of priorities
Budget Range: (e.g.: 600-800) $1200
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Mostly gaming, though video etc
Parts Not Required: not too worried in the peripherals at this time, mostly just need the nuts n bolts of the system
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg
Country: United States
Parts Preferences: As this is my first system, if there is any particular brand that seems to be easier over the other
Overclocking: Probablly
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe in the future but as it doesn't seem to increase gaming...i wouldn't say this is a necessity
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080, )
Additional Comments: As my first project and hopefully a future hobby of mine, I'm wanting this experience to be a fun undertaking. Any advice, thoughts, suggestions, and references is greatly appreciated. Thank you to anyone that gives your time to reply to this post.
