Intended usage: I will mostly use it for playing new MMOs and indie single player PC titles. Some recent ones include ArcheAge, Blade & Soul, Ori & Blind Forest, Concrete Jungle, and Anno 2205. I don't plan on using SLI/Crossfire or Overclocking.
Screen resolution, FPS, game settings: 1920x1080p, 60 FPS, medium.
Budget: Approximately $600, but I can go over a little bit.
Country: United States.
New Build:
After some deliberation, instead of reusing old parts, I plan on giving my current PC to my parents. I've heard that Intel is preferred over AMD for MMO gaming, so I'd like to go with an i5 CPU. I would like to reuse the hard drives and sound card. Should I go with ATX Mid Tower or micro ATX Mid Tower? What about DDR4 2133 vs 2400? I'm unsure about my motherboard and case. Can someone review my build and offer recommendations? Thank you.
