I've just moved into a second home and because there is 1,000km between my two homes now, I feel I need a whole new build, as hauling my rig around seems unreasonable. Also, my other PC is 10 years old at this point and even though it has been updated to cope with what I use it for, a 10-year-old main board poses certain limitations.
My budget is flexible, I think staying below €2,000 would be reasonable, but if I could get a significant boost in performance for a couple hundred more, I'd probably do that.
My primary uses for the PC will be gaming and internet surfing. I have a bad habit of opening thousands (literally!) of tabs when surfing and the game that I will probably be playing for the foreseeable future (and certainly the most demanding in terms of gaming performance) is Total War: Warhammer 2. So ideally my new build could run that game on maximum settings (ultra unit scale, first and foremost) and handle an unreasonable amount of open tabs.
Approximate Purchase Date: soon, i.e. I will buy parts as soon as I have all the info I need
Budget Range: flexible, ideally below €2,000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: surfing, watching movies, gaming (Total War: Warhammer 2)
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Parts to Upgrade:Completely new build
Do you need to buy OS: Yes (and I despise Windows 10 so either Win7 compatibility or help in tweaking Win10 to effective become Win7 would be greatly appreciated)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Don't care. Last time I built a PC, I bought parts from various websites
Location: EU, Germany / Croatia
Parts Preferences: I don't care.
Overclocking: Probably not. I'd rather just buy better parts than reduce life expectancy of my build. If it can be done without harming parts, sure, but you'd have to tell me how.
SLI or Crossfire: I don't know what that is.
Your Monitor Resolution: I don't know what's common here. My current PC has 1920x1080, I think that's enough?
Additional Comments: A quiet PC would be much preferred.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Not really upgrading, but my current PC slows down significantly during large battles in TW: Warhammer 2.
Please let me know if you need any more info from me!
