Start here:I thought I would come here to get some advice. What type of PC (and where could I purchase it) could I get around the 1200.00 dollar mark for gaming?
Thank you.
We're just trying to help you to not buy a $1200 piece of crap.Oh, so there's proper etiquette for me to follow? It's a simple question. If it can't be answered simply, I have come to the wrong site.
My mistake, USAF. I had no idea that you were looking out for my best interest. Thank you. Eximo. Correct, I couldn't build a PC myself. And I'm aware of the companies you listed.
A video card in that price range is going to eat up most of your budget.I believe there is a Microcenter south of me, which may be 45 minutes away. I considered finding a PC with an Nvidia 3080 Ti Founders Edition instead of the 4080 Super. Maybe I can save more money that way. Stick with an i7 and not go with the i9 32 gigs of memory instead of 64 gigs. But still stick with a 1000w power supply.
Here is the applicable CPU list for your motherboard:Ok, how about I do this? I could keep my current PC and build it off the motherboard, which is an MSI Z270 M5. If I do this and go with the 3080 (ti) or 3090, what would be my best options for upgrading the CPU and Memory?
You already have the best CPU for that motherboard.My current CPU is the i7 7700k 4.2 GHz.
