Hello! I'm building my own custom PC for the very first time and I have to admit, I'm completely lost. There's just so much information out there that it's hard to discern what's relevant and what isn't. I've been browsing some budget PC builds and I found one I liked, but i would like to tailor it to my needs a bit more.
First off, I want to be able to play most next-gen games on medium graphics smoothly. Performance > Graphics.
As long as the game looks decent and plays well, I'm a happy camper.
If possible, I'd like to keep the cost to $1000 and under.
I don't want my entire build to be obsolete in a couple years, but I'm completely willing to upgrade a few parts here and there.
I will NOT be doing anything overly intensive on the CPU like video editing or graphic design.
The biggest problem I've had with all my computers so far is that they play current gen games pretty smoothly, but the second next gen games come into the picture the PC just can't handle it, and the entire machine begins slowing down the more games I buy.
TL;DR: I want a budget gaming PC under $1000 that can play most next-gen games smoothly and that still runs smoothly a couple years from now.
Here's what I have so far:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/cart/view.html/ref=nav_cart/
If you see anywhere that I could cut costs, please tell me! If there's any key parts I've left out, PLEASE, by all means, tell me.
ANY kind of advice at all is appreciated! Thanks a bunch!
P.S. What site should I purchase the parts from? Do i stick with amazon or should i go somewhere else like NewEgg, or even Ebay for some?
