Hi everyone,
I've never built a computer before, and I've been terrified about making a wrong decision with components and losing a lot of money, or making some other kind of simple mistake that should have been otherwise avoided.
I've had the opportunity to buy a new computer for the past 3 years, and I've been stalling out of fear. I need to stop that now, as it's gotten ridiculous. I would say almost half if not more of the games I own on Steam I can't play because my current computer is just a terrible HP laptop that can't run them.
This is my first big purchase in a while, so I'd like a system that will allow me to play the most demanding games out there for years to come. If it's necessary I'm willing to spend up to around $1800, and I'd like to include a fairly large, quality monitor and keyboard as well, if possible (along with Windows and stuff for school).
I'd greatly appreciate any help offered, and just really don't want to skimp anywhere on the system, be it the power supply or whatever else - I've struggled with crappy computers for so many years that I'd really like to go all-out and get something powerful that I can enjoy for a fairly long time.
Thanks for your help, and please let me know if you have any questions, or if I can provide any more information.
