Hi All,
I'm looking to build a $600-800 Gaming Rig for myself, my current PC is probably around 7 years old and is on its last legs. Also, I'm not up on best hardware or compatibility between parts, so I figured I'd go to the experts.
Approximate Purchase Date: Could be today once I know what to buy
Budget Range: $600-$800 USD before rebates/after shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming > Streaming Videos > Web Browsing
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: Possibly.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com - have $250 in gift cards, amazon.com - have $150 in gift cards (both already counted toward $600-800 budget)
Location: Buffalo, NY, USA
Parts Preferences: None - best value for my $
Overclocking: Not familiar - so no?
SLI or Crossfire: Not familiar - so no?
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 I believe, I'd have to check when I got home.
Additional Comments: I mainly play World of Warcraft but also play TF2, Civ V, probably games in the future.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My current PC is OLD! General slowness, WoW shuts down once-twice a session while running nearly the lowest settings, getting untolerable to use.
Looking forward to hearing you input. Thanks!
