Hey everyone!
I am going to be building my first from scratch computer.
I am pretty tech savvy, but unfirtunately, have never had the funds to build my own.
Times have changed.
Here's what I know:
Build: ASAP
USE: GAMING! And using things like ProTools and Ableton Live (music production)
Budget $600-$800(TOPS, would like around 500-600)
No monitor needed
No OS needed
No keyboard/mouse needed
I would like to build this guy around the INTEL 3570 IVY BRIDGE cpu (not the K version, as I don't REALLY want to overclock it).
I was also looking at the ASRock Z77 EXTREME4 LGA1155 mobo, as this seems to be very popular on these forums.
My primary Goal is to make a pc that CAN BE UPGRADED in the future. I don't need a HUGE, EXPENSIVE GPU right now; that can be upgraded in the future. But maybe a cheap one that can play some games from the last ten years decently would be nice.
Once again, I plan to UPGRADE THIS PC OVER TIME.
Apart from that, I I WILL NEED an HDD, I have a laptop one but I think I would like something around 1tb.
Any suggestions on cool cases? I just want something with good airflow really.
And the PSU, I don't need to be blowing tons of money on my electric bill, as I already have 2 monitors.
Hey, guys and gals, thanks for looking.
And any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again!
