Additional Comments:
I used to be fairly active in these forums back in 2011 or so. Then I got really busy with studies when I got into high school and then in university. I used my 2011 build very sparingly over the last 3-4 years, and I almost didn’t use it at all over the last two years. As a result, it gives me a lot of hassle from time to time, and sometimes even refuses to boot (two beeps).
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading:
My current build is turning out to be really problematic and more often than not doesn’t even want to boot. It’s also pretty old now specs-wise:
i3 2100, Intel DH61WW, 4 + 2GB of DDR3 1333 RAM, a GTX 660, 1TB WD Blue, Corsair CX430 and Corsair 500R.
I extensively use a Retina MacBook Pro for work, so the new build will be almost exclusively used for light gaming: F1 2017, FIFA 18, etc. sports titles, and my small brother may sometimes play GTA V on it. I don’t really like playing heavy, resource-intensive FPS or multiplier games like Battlefield and the likes. I just want a build that can comfortably run at least the next 3-4-5 iterations of FIFA and F1.
