I'm looking at building a computer and currently have this:
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/KWbwD2
Basically, I don't have a budget currently and need to start saving.
Ideally, I want the PC to cost less than this but I'm not sure where to cut, as I want to be able to stream games.
The plan was to get the cpu, mobo, ram, ssd now and a super cheap 1050, then upgrade to a 1080 at a later date, as I need the PC asap and don't want to have to upgrade more than I have to in the future (such as better ram, cpu, an ssd etc). I also plan to add (in the future) a bunch of extra fans and a few more hard drives (don't ask), and perhaps a second monitor. I choose the PSU I did because I feel like I might need it for the computer to last for years with nearly 16 hours a day for gaming, with it being on for nearly 24/7 (if not me, someone else is on it).
Currently my mouse is damaged & I use a laptop, so no option to cut on monitor/mouse/keyboard either.
I also wanted to try and future proof it to some extent hence cutting the graphics card so much for a later date to get better processor etc but is there a more efficient way I can do this?
Finally, is the wireless card I choose good for range? I'm not really sure how to tell, I'm basically nowhere near the router...my laptop picks it up fine currently though.
Thanks in advanced!
