Hi
Dark Souls 3 is coming, so it's time to take the final step from ps3 to laptop to gaming desktop. But, as the title said; I'm a complete newbie.
The requirements are the following:
OS: Windows 7 SP1 64 bit, Windows 8.1 64bit, Windows 10 64bit
Processor: AMD FX 8150 3.6 GHz or Intel Core i7 2600 3.4 GHz
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750, ATI Radeon HD 7850
DirectX: Version 11
Network: Broadband internet connection
Storage: 50GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX 11 sound device
My attempt so far:
Case: Be quiet! Silent Base 800
Processor: Intel i5-4690K ?
Motherboard: MSI H170 gaming, socket 1151 ?
Power supply: EVGA SuperNOVA GS650W ?
Memory: Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Sport 1600MHz 8GB
Graphics: Nvidia Gainward GeForce GTX 970 4GB
Primary storage: Samsung 850 EVO mZ-75E250GB
Secondary storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Sound Card: I assume it's included in most CPUs
OS: Windows 7 SP1 64 bit
DVD reader: Samsung DVD Writer, SH-224FB
I can't splurge on the hardware right now (although it's tempting) because I have to buy a monitor and everything else too. However, I'd like the option to upgrade in the future. Also, I value silence, although I realize I may have to prioritise…
I'm pretty certain about the graphics card; the more expensive versions are too big a jump, and I could possibly use two GTX 970s if I upgrade later on?
I love the case, although I probably could get a cheaper one (but probably won't).
Memory and storage is OK, I think -- unless I'm swapping CPU -- in which case I'll need DDR4 RAM.
CPU, motherboard and PSU on the other hand… I don't know. Should I invest in an i7 something instead of an i5 something? It's not that much of a jump, except that I'll have to buy a separate CPU fan and DDR4 RAM. I'm not going to overclock.
PSU and motherboard will depend on the CPU, but, as I've mentioned, I'd like to be able to upgrade should I want too.
Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated; PC building is a bit intimidating, to say the least.
