Hello. I'm planning to build my first PC soon and I need as much help as possible. My budget is $1000 for the computer only. I have a lot of specific questions that I didn't specify in my last thread so if anyone could help me that would be great!
1. I really want a nice small case. I was thinking of going with either a BitFenix Prodigy or BitFenix Phenom. Would they work with most parts? They both seem to be the same just a different design. I would like your thoughts on which one is best (If there's even a big difference).
2. I want to be able to play almost any game new and old on a decent setting. Is that possible with my budget? Would it be possible to play anything on a max setting?
3. This sounds stupid but I'm confused about the whole amount of fans and there set up. All of the builds I see all have a completely different set up and placement of the fans.
4. Water cooling. Does it really make that much of a difference? I've seen water cooling set ups in the exact cases that I want but it seems cramped. Is it needed or worth the extra hassle?
5. I want to have a lot of space for games. With my budget how much space will I be able to get and will it be enough? I plan to switch from console to PC only so I plan to play all games on it. My friend has an Alien Ware laptop (it's one of the top ones) that barely has any games on it but no more room. She said she sacrificed space for better performance in other areas. With my budget can I get a great amount of space + play the games that I want? What's a good amount?
6. Could you list a build or specific parts that would meet all of my needs and also fit in either cases??
Sorry for all of the long questions. I hope it's not too much I'm just really confused and new to everything and would like to learn as much as possible. Thanks!
