Greetings.
I have finally decided it is time to build a new PC from scratch instead of upgrading my old one, the only part i will be keeeping is the case from current computer, i would need some opinions about the build if there is something i should take into consideration that might cause problems down the line or botleneck the build.
Approximate Purchase Date: This or next month.
Budget Range: 2000-2400€
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Mostly for gaming purpose and VR in future.
Are you buying a monitor: No plans for that, currently hooked up to 4K TV
Do you need to buy OS: Having a hard time to choose if i should go with 7 or 10 currently.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Parts will be bought from http://www.jimms.fi/ should be easy to find different parts when names are in english on the site even thou it is finnish, in case there is something you guys think i should change.
Location: Finland
Parts Preferences: No major brands or types i prefer, just want to make a good machine, been using intel and gigabyte mostly on older machine.
Overclocking: Yes, but later on.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe if it will prove a good option later on.
Your Monitor Resolution: Using 4K television so it goes up to 4096x2160 but will not be running in 4K. Mostly in 1080p or 1440p
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Goal is to have a solid gaming PC that will be able to run games with Rift once it is released, have been postponing the purchase of a new PC until a closer date with the rift and now seems like a good as any time to build one.
