Hello everyone!
This is my first post on here, and I tried to read some of the stickies so I hope I got this right! As the title said I'm looking to build a new custom computer that will run on a good sized TV, one that will be running at 1080p or 'i'. I sold my computer a while back because I realized I never use it for anything but MMO's (and no good MMO's had come out for like 2 years!). All my gaming will be coming out of the Xbox One besides these game types. So I want to build a new rig that will run MMO's well on my TV that I'll be playing the Xbox on for when things like ESO, EQ: Next, Wildstar, etc. etc.
Approximate Purchase Date: Most likely during the summer time, after some of these MMO's have come out.
Budget Range: $1,000-$2,000 should get it done right? I'm not opposed to higher or lower priced builds, as long as it gets the job done well!
System Usage from Most to Least Important: MMO gaming on my TV, then be able to play stuff like Netflix, Hulu and all that easy stuff when the wifey wants to use it too.
Are you buying a monitor: Strictly on a good sized TV (I believe it'll be 40"-45"+)
Parts to Upgrade: Erry'thang!
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No preferred site necessarily. I've only used newegg.com before because it's all I know, but I'm sure you all know these places better than me. Wherever the best deals come from I suppose!
Location: I currently go to school and have a few different available locations. West Lafayette, IN, Cincinatti, OH, Lexington, KY, and I possibly could be in Dallas, TX over the summer.
Parts Preferences: I prefer Intel processors and nVidia cards. Other than that, it's pretty open. I'd really love the case to be very form factor, like a cube or rectangle, something medium/small so that it can sit next to the Xbox One and not look like a gigantic behemoth of a rig.
Overclocking: If it's necessary, heck yes. I'm all for getting the most out of a system.
SLI or Crossfire: SLI if necessary. However, I've had some bad experiences with SLI (cards dying, screen tearing and such). I've usually had much more success with a single card, but for TV usage I can completely understand if I need two, or three, or more!
Your Monitor Resolution: It will be on a TV running at 1080p or 'i', forgive me but I don't know what resolution that typically is.
Additional Comments: Again I'd like the rig to be pretty form factor, I'm open to which way it will be form factor, but should meet this requirement somehow. Hopefully the quieter the better in all the ways I can get it because it will be in the living rooms or bedrooms alongside the Xbox One. It's a system strictly for running MMO's on the best settings. I won't be getting any big, fancy FPS games or anything else. The only thing I use a PC for are MMO's and would like to get a system to play them on the TV alongside the Xbox. Games I'm expecting to get in the future are EQ: Next, Wildstar, ESO, and others that will be coming out (so you can check spec requirements).
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: To get a system to play MMORPG's on my TV where I do most of my gaming on an Xbox. I don't want to get a separate desk and monitor and setup just for an MMORPG gaming PC, I'd much prefer to have them all in one so that way the computer can be also used for the wifey to watch TV, movies, browse internet, or whatever she wants to do as well.
Thank you so much to anyone/everyone who answers and helps out. I look forward to seeing what people can come up with and to further educating myself on how to get this done. I'm pretty tech savvy so don't worry about me not following anyone. I'm just unsure of how to approach a TV situation so I can't wait for the help and guidance.
Thanks again!
