Hello everyone! =]]
here's my favorite time of the year -NEW GAMING PC TIME OF THE YEAR
DDDD
Alright so I been preparing for this for sometime now - and I'm finally ready for the trip to the computer shop=0)
I haven't been following what's happening with amd/intel/nvidia lately please help me out here..
So the idea with this PC is to save money right now, but upgrade the build soon within 6-8 months with more RAM, additional video card and eventually better cpu if needed.
I got some components and accessories to use with the game rig already heres the details:
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: VERY SOON -- MAY 11-12
Components that I already have are:
-1TB 7200 HDD
-500GB 7200 HDD
(I'm going to wait up to buy an SSD right now, will get in a couple months)
-older case
-secondary 17" older monitor (will be getting new 1080p main monitor in 2-3 months)
Accessories that I already have are:
-razer naga plus mat, sony headphones , samson condenser mike so3u.
### TO BUY:
-CPU
-RAM
-Motherboard
-Video card
-Power supply
Budget Range --->> 600 GDP ~ 930 USD After Shipping //
(no need to spend necessary all of it - I will be upgrading soon)
Any combination of AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL...
*The idea is to get good upgradable parts without maxing out on RAM or multiple videocards right away, just to start playing decently, then upgrade with extra ram, cards, ssd, new monitor etc
*my plan was to
1)spend most money on the video card, add a second one later
2)get and i5 with decent not too expansive mobo and 8 gb of ram to double at the next upgrade
3) could save on the PSU right now , and just replace it when i decide to go sli/cf ...
