Hi,
Firstly, I'll say this now - I'm not a stranger to building PC's, HOWEVER I'm now a mac girl so haven't really done a decent build in like 10ish years (actually prob more like 13 considering it was pre kids), so I'm out of touch with the current decent components ect...
So all our old pcs have been dying - thats a given when you consider that they are 5+ years old and not really designed for what the kids are using them for nowadays... so I'm on a mission to replace them and add a couple (one pc to 5 gaming kids doesn't quite work so well - and the cheap and nasty $300 laptop is bearly ms office friendly!)
The plan is to go with 2-3 new gaming pcs on a very limited budget, 4 if I'm awesome but i won't push it lol.
The kids are into games ranging form minecraft to the latest battlefield type games (can you tell I'm not a gamer... give me adobe CC and I'm happy! lol) so they need a pc that will run these games.
I would also love to be able to easily update the hardware when the time comes - hence why I'm keen on a diy build.
So help me figure out the internal contents of these pcs please! (and let me know if you know of anywhere that offers bulk discounting lol).
I'm not concerned with monitors and peripheral parts yet cause we already have a stock pile of these. Just the pc unit its self atm.
thanks
