Hello guys, I have been thinking about building a new gaming desktop for a while now, but my old idea pad finally died, so it is time to do this I guess. I really just need a place to start as well as some advice on specific parts. my budget is about 1200-1500 dollars,
Processor: I was thinking I4 or I5, though I could use advice
Motherboard: Im really not sure what to use, But I do know I would like quite a few USB 3 ports, plenty of room for ram and room for improvements
graphics card: I like the nvidia Geforce GTX series, though which one im not sure. I Do know that I will be using 2 monitors, so 2 outputs is a must. The games I plan to play are starcraft 2, Skyrim, Fallout, battlefield 3 and the like. I dont really care to play everything on max all the time, but I would like to be ABLE to go to max, but be able to play normally on high settings
Power: I really have no idea what kind of power source I would use, so this is one place I need a lot of advice
other: This is the area where I feel im just going to forget something, like what kind of heat sink should I buy to put in the processor? Things like that would be very helpful
In the end, anything you guys can help me with is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys!
Also just saying im not locked into the Nvidia graphics card, as I have heard great things about other cards as well.
