$1200ish Gaming/Home use PC
What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.
Playing games such as The Division, Overwatch, For Honor, and some RPGs. I will need to be able to use Microsoft apps such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Very minimal photo editing, just what you can do on your phone basically.
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
$1200ish. If it's a little over I could swing it probably.
When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.
In next two weeks.
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)
Everything. That includes monitor, mouse, and keyboard.
Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?
Texas
If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
Starting from scratch.
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
Possibly overclocking right away, but not mandatory really.
Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)
SSD >200GB, HDD >1TB, would like hi-res gaming. One of the reasons I am wanting to switch from console to PC gaming.
Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?
LED lighting is cool, but does not have to be included at all. Enjoy the white cases more than black or colored ones.
Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?
Windows 10
Extra info or particulars:
I am wanting to switch from console to PC gaming. Wife wants a desktop in the house for her job. I am the type of person where I typically only play 1 game at a time. Very rarely do I have two games I am into at a time (this might matter for storage reasons?). I enjoy the resolution, so 4K would be something I would want down the line, but seems too expensive for my budget right now. So getting as close to that as I can is ideal. Many thanks anyone who gives me a hand!
