Hi guys, post #2. I have a late 2012-early 2013 M1x R4 that i am selling and I am looking to build a desktop to replace it. I have been focusing on school, and am going to college in a year, and need a Gaming desktop to take with me. I would be buying said computer sometime this summer, and it would need to last me 4 years with minimal upgrades. I am choosing a desktop because of the expandability and customizability. Having been focusing on school, I have been out of the computer news arena, and only know the basics of what happens to be the new big thing this year/month. Does anyone have any ideas for a build, either completely custom or through a company like Origin pc, that would cost up to $2000? Preferred price is $1500, but up to $2000 will be possible. I only need the desktop and PSU, as i have 27 inch monitor, keyboard, mouse, backup, pad, 10 hub usb, etc.
Please, go for it. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Here is the list in the format that FinneousPJ created, which i belive is stickied on the forum.
Approximate Purchase Date: This summer, probably around mid july.
Budget Range: Up to $2,000, preferably around $1,500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, School, Engineering/graphics intensive programs. must have at least 1TB SSD RAID storage, and if using dual drives, 2 1TB SSD's.
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: None. New to this, suggestions and opinions welcome.
Location: Truckee, Ca, U.S.
Parts Preferences: Intel Cpu unless there is something better, and I have used NVDIA in the past and liked it. Open to suggestions.
Overclocking: Maybe, Depends on brands, etc.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, dont really have any experiance with this. Suggestions?
Additional Comments: I would preffer this to be a very quiet computer, with a very expandable and upgradeable chasis. Not huge in size, but big enough to be sturdy. Playing BF3, 4, battlefront, NFS(all), RUSE, etc. High end, high performance games.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Old laptop just didnt cut it, moving off to college and studying engineering. also needed an SSD, Raid, and more Ram.
