Folks, I'm putting together a custom desktop and would love some input on these parts. Here are a few things that I'd like to see accomplished with this build;
* Solid foundation for future upgrades
* Gaming matters most to me - let me rephrase that Battlefield 4 does
* Looks matter as well, so if there's any bells/whistles you think I ought to consider - let me know
* I'm willing to pay a little extra if there's an in-game performance/esthetic improvement
* My budget is between $2,000-$2,500, please do note this includes a new monitor, keyboard and mouse. I rather stay on the lower end if possible.
In addition, I have a few questions:
* Do I need extra cooling if I'm going to start off with a mild overclock?
* Is it worth spending $200ish more on a 780ti?
* I'd like to stick with this MOBO, because it comes with features I could really use. However, would you normally save money here if possible?
* How important is RAM when it comes to BF4?
* Does anybody have experience with this case? Is it a good mid-sized case for future upgrades?
* Windows 8 or Windows 7?
* What would your build look like if you had the same needs as me?
Your input is much appreciated,
Thanks folks
