Help Wanted: Intel/NVidia Build

[JDubstep]

Basically I had been out of the computer building business for awhile. The last three rigs I owned were ASUS RoG laptops.They were sexy, portable, decently priced, and did what I needed them to do. After much self-contention, I set out and built myself desktop. More than a year prior, I had built my dad a medium-priced rig ($850) using AMD/Radeon products. He's a story-mode gamer, so he really doesn't need much to satisfy him. He lives out in the boonies and basically has the worst 'high-speed' Internet known to man. I used the PC I built him as a benchmark to see how well AMD/Radeon had climbed over the years (up until then, I've never owned any of their products). I then waited until I received this year's tax return to build myself a faster, more suitable for online gaming box. I did this with an AMD CPU and dual Radeon GPUs. This ran me about $2.5k for everything in the tower. Life was great. Things were good, and then technology happened. All of a sudden, my stuff wasn't good enough for me. The games I now enjoy playing aren't optimized for crossfire. In the near foreseeable future, they won't be either. Radeon released the 480 which runs better than my two R9 390s and costs half of what I paid for two of those bad boys. Two weeks ago, my dad calls me up asking about minimum specs for the new CoD that was dropping. I told him I was considering building a new comp and that he would be entitled to take what I have now as tribute for an early Christmas present. I'm not quite up to par with Intel/NVidia products and I'd like input on what I currently have in my NewEgg shopping cart. Shopping Cart

TL;DR - see attached screen cap, and tell me what you think (good or bad). Feel free to provide suggestions as necessary. I find myself playing a lot of FPS online. CS:GO, H1Z1, CoD franchise.

Thanks,

Jake

Only moderators can choose a best answer other than the OP. You can only unselect a Best Answer if requested by the OP. Choosing a Best Answer if not your thread will quickly get you a warning from the administrators.

It's an unwritten rule that moderators and the OP are the ones that can select BAs. Believe me the BA system is a hotly debated topic among the moderation team. What we don't like is when users try to play moderator on a thread and select the BA themselves. It's really up to the discretion of the OP as to whether or not a BA is selected.

^ if you already here, is there a way to change the thread type ?

Only the OP or one of the senior mods can do that, us regular mods don't have that power.

Well how the heck do I change the thread type? Grrr... I'm starting to get heated like two rats in a wool sock doing the two-step. 😀

Hmm, I guess I might have to move your threads somewhere else in the future.
