Hey everyone, several years ago I asked for some advice on a PC build that I am still using to this day (with a few upgrades). I am looking to hand this PC down to one of my kids and I am going to be upgrading. I have $1,000 to either build a new one or buy one.
My current build is:
i5-3470 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
1 TB SSD and 2 TB HDD
Graphics card is a RX 580 8gb
If I am going to build a new one, I will need a new OS as I will not be taking any parts (except for a HDD that has pics on it) out of the current one. I want to be able to play games, but I don't really play anything that's AAA. I play League of Legends, Rogue Company, Overwatch, Conan Exiles, ARK and RUST for the most part. I also want to be able to use Davinci Resolve.
I know with parts being so expensive maybe the best bet would be to just buy a prebuilt PC. I debated on getting https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo...d-1tb-hdd-raven-black/6453877.p?skuId=6453877 but I'm not sure if thats the best bang for my buck, I don't need to spend the full $1,000 just because I have it. Like I was looking at the RX 5500, I just want to be able to play the games listed on high settings and be able to edit videos without lagging. If I need to spend it all then so be it. Anyone got any advice? Thanks so much for the help, you guys helped me 8 years ago and it worked well, hoping for another 8 years
