Hello, this is not relevant but it's funny how I said 2 weeks ago that I had lost interest in gaming, too busy with my career and life overall too. I've never been a hardcore gamer but after I said that I stumbled with a video on YouTube about DayZ and I had seen it before but I suddenly had this urge to try it out so I downloaded steam and bought it two days ago.
Running it at first was awful, I have a HP dv6-7010us laptop with 7640g and AMD A8-4500 but I fixed it with very low settings and everything disabled and I get 28 fps max, I was so stoked with it that I chose to keep playing and did for 5+ hours but the game is laggy and looks horrible because of my specs.
Experiencing this and deciding to add gaming in my hobbies again, I decided to get a build-it-yourself desktop computer. All hyped and thinking about what should my budget be? I felt overwhelmed with all these options, I do understand all the terms but I'm so outdated with gaming and that's why I'm here to get help.
I don't plan on upgrading often so this has to handle everything for 2-4 years.
1. Choosing budget
I want to run everything out there at least on normal/medium settings but I wont be spending more than $1000 but I don't know if I can get what I want with that budget, I'm complicated.
2. Too many cases
I just need something upgradeable and easy to keep clean.
3. Motherboard
Does the motherboard affect performance or you just simply choose it based on what can be plugged on it? ivy bridge, etc.. what?
4. CPU
I'm going with Intel this time but I don't want to choose something too expensive that I don't need or something too cheap that doesn't fulfill my expectations.Maybe i5? i7?
5. GPU
This one makes me paranoid, graphics are cool but expensive. I fear getting something without knowing that there's something better out there for the same price.
6. Memory
I think the only option here is the amount, I guess.. I've read that 8gb is enough but I love multitasking. Should it be 16?
7. Storage
I know how much storage I need but maybe I should have 2 of these, one for my files and the other for my games. SSD or hard drive? SSD are expensive.
8. Power Supply
What do you have to look out for when choosing this? I do know that a good power supply will keep your motherboard from burning if you know what I mean but I don't know more than that.
Thank you for taking your time on reading this, I'm very picky and complicated.
I guess I can find information on the cables and screws I need on google.
Feel free to post ANYTHING that could help me.
Thanks.
