Hi,
My laptop broke last week and I'm looking into building a replacement desktop. I have a small budget and this is my frist time building a pc. I am ok wih upgrading in the future.
The specs of my laptop were:
GPU: 7690m XT
CPU: i5-2450m
RAM:6gb ddr5
the mobo had HDMI port, wireless, ethernet port, dvi, card reader , 3.0 usb and 2.0 usb and also a blue ray player (not as important right now).
I dabble in music prodction, photoediting, video editing and 3d rendering. Nothing too fancy, mostly basic/small projects (mostly just to learn/test the waters). I do wish to continue to do these projects and hopefully have a strong enough pc to explore these interests even further.
the games I play are nothing too demanding;
League of Legends
Counter strike Global Offensive
Vindictus
Drift 2/racing games
Whatever catches my eye on Steam/what I have time for.
I also would like to stream and I usually play these games with friends and we talk over raidcall/vent.
with my current budget of 500usd, could I have assistance with parts and thouughts behined the choices.
thanks in advance!
I have a monitor and mouse. I also have windows 7.
