Hi all.
Its been around 6 years since i last built a pc. Im now getting multiple BSODs, can barely keep it on long enough to find the problem and what i do get points to a harddrive problem (ntfs.sys) or. Memory. So i suspect the time has come for an upgrade. While my software knowledge is good hardware has moved on a lot and so i seek your advice.
Gaming wise i play some simulators and would like x plane 10 to run on high settings with good ai. I also play gtav on the present pc which runs at a reasonable pace on low settings! Other games i play are quite undemanding except fallout and bizarely civ 5 which will ctd if it gets too demanding.
In terms of work nothing will stress it too much.
So my budget is around £800 with max 1k for parts an os and case. If a rig can do the above for cheaper thats great. But a bit of longevity and future proofing would be good. Id also be willing to try an ssd. Have heard and seen good things about them. I have a decent monitor and speakers already and the keyboard and mouse do the job!
Thanks for any advice.
