So I decided to be adventurous and build my own computer... And it has been so hard and confusing... So I thought, maybe a good thing to do would just be to ask you guys to suggest to me a complete build for under 800 dollars. I have been working on my personalized build for awhile, but the budget has really gotten away from me (it was originally $800, now above $900)
Expectations of my rig:
1. Great for gaming at high quality
2. Online ready (wireless/ethernet)
3. Preferred to be under $800
4. Types of games: Minecraft, Sims 4, Elderscrolls, Valve (half-life, portal), Steam stuff, etc
5. Also I do lots of video editing, streaming, etc!
So just offer me a parts list. I'm still not sure what I will do... I may just take a parts list someone offers or I may use them all to further educate myself on building the one I have. I will show you the one I currently have but know that I know nothing about this at all, so my decisions have been the culmination of a lot of asking around!
