Hi all,
As the title says, i've been out of the self build game for awhile. Last time I built my own PC was around 10 years ago. Obviously a lot has changed. I'd like to buy soon, but I would also consider waiting until November's blackfriday to purchase components if the deals are worth it. A lot of what i've spec'd out is overkill for what I currently play, but I'd like to run everything I currently own on max settings as well as future proof for the next 4-5 years. Thanks in advance for the input!
Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next month (might wait until BlackFriday if its worth it)
Budget Range: $2,000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming / home movie editing / basic surfing
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, would prefer a decent 27"
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg/Amazon (prefer to get everything in one large shipment)
Location: Anchorage, AK
Parts Preferences: Intel / Nvidia
Overclocking: CPU
SLI or Crossfire: Yes
Your Monitor Resolution: I’d like to get a 27” to start with, and add a 23”-24” for web browsing/movie watching while gaming
Additional Comments: I know its really overkill, but I mainly play WoW, but I occasionally get into different kinds of FPS. I play a wide range from Crysis/Metro 2033 to Counter-Strike Source… I’d like a computer to last me for 4-5 years before I really need to upgrade.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I have a gaming laptop, but now that I have space, I’d like to get a desktop again.
Include a list of any parts you have already selected with descriptively labeled links for parts.
