Hi guys, I'm looking for a gaming build that is in the ~$800 range, it isn't a super hard budget but I would like to stay around there so I can be close to being under ~$1k with a new monitor.
Approximate Purchase Date: within the month
Budget Range: ~$800
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, normal day to day use
Parts Not Required: No OS, speakers, keyboard, mouse, monitor will come later...
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: no preference, but grouping on shipping would be optimal
Country of Origin: US
Parts Preferences: Bit more of an intel & nvidia fan, but it wouldn't be a total killer if I ended up getting increased performance for the price.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Yes (down the road, so I would like a good enough card where I can just add a second one later to keep my PC gaming-able for the next 4+ years)
Additional Comments: I would really like this computer to be able to play games for at least the next 4 years or so. I am not against adding a second video card later or something of the similar nature to keep it up to par, but I don't really want to have to rebuild this again 2 years down the road.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge/research, I was previously going for a i5-750 build but it looks like the i5-2500k may now be the optimum? It has been years since I was in the game more and knowledgeable, so I appreciate all and any of your help. Thanks
