Hello! I'm looking for help in finding what parts everyone here thinks would be the most optimum to use to build a PC. I'm hoping for something that is Futureproof and looking for good advice on specific things I've not fully gotten accomplished. I'd be a bit on the amateur side on finding parts that are relevant since the last 5 years I've own an Asus G73JH-A1 Laptop which....feels as if it's about to kick the bucket as it keeps making deathly-grinding and moaning noises. I have the money and we have the technology so I can build a new computer.
I live in Canada, and my budget is essentially $1500 to $2000, I have it left within that range because I'd be unsure which would be more decisive on what would be good enough for a gaming PC without it breaching into the unnecessary boundaries.
This will be mostly for gaming and I have a list of parts I've so far found through others helping me Partially, but not fully and so I'm left half-done and needing someone who knows what they're talking about to help finalize what parts I need or which could be better.
I'm using http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/ to find parts and the final things I need help on essentially are:
-What kind of Tower with great cooling capabilities should I select
-To Liquid Cooling or not to use Liquid Cooling?
-Network card/wifi-enabled that is of good quality.
-and if the motherboard should be replaced by something that at the very least allows 2 slots for Dual-GPU(3-4 slots probably not needed) and one that can support the RAM I've so far found and is overall just a better price. If anyone has any questions or anything that would let them understand better how it is that you could help me, I'll be glad to help in any way I can. I just really wish to finish this so I can get cracking!
