Hi,
I'm very much a noob when it comes to what's currently available in the market with regards to build. I USED to be a good enough techie a decade or so ago and I had more knowledge but I've fallen out of the loop.
Basically, I'm looking to build a 4K gaming system (just a CPU as I have the peripherals) for myself under a budget of $600 - something that's at least 4-5 years future proof, has a decent amount of RAM and can do some casual and hardcore gaming.
I'm myself a casual gamer (I game at most 5-6 hours a week if that), but when I do game, I like to play the newest games at high settings. I do have a decent MSI All-in-one right now that does a decent job of playing latest games at medium - high settings, but I want something that I can lock down and have for a long time to come. This means that it should be upgradeable.
I also have a multi-use setup where I like to have my main computer system as a hub that I distribute around the house. So an HDMI ready card is a must that I can then split to multiple monitors and TVs around the house. Currently, I have one output split to 2 TVs and 1 Monitor.
Pre-built system ideas would be very helpful. I have no clue what's available in the desktop market and how desktops are configured anymore. I've been gaming on laptops and all-in-one's for the last decade or so.
Oh yeah, I also want something that's VR ready. Not looking to buy right now, but probably a good idea to buy a system where I won't be limited in the future if I just impulsively wanna add it one day.
