I need some help and suggestions for parts, for Christmas, for my son's gaming PC. I've only built simple web browsing PC's and have little knowledge of the cpu,ram and gpu needed for a gaming PC. We are starting from scratch. Thanks in advance.
1. The game he mostly plays is 'League of Legends'. He has played 'Call of Duty' in the past. Also, he mentioned something like ustream?? istream?? I have no idea what he meant by that.
2. Setting budget around $700 to $900 for all parts. If this is too large of a budget for the games he plays , I don't mind if it's a bit 'overkill'. Also, if it helps prolong upgrading.
3. USA, I ususally buy from Newegg, but suggestions are welcome.
4. IF you're buying parts OUTSIDE the US, please post a link to the vendor you'll be buying from.
We can't be expected to scour the internet on your behalf, chasing down deals in your specific country... Again, help us, help YOU.
5. NO brand preference except for I prefer to buy an Intel CPU
6. Starting from scratch, need: case, cpu & cooler. motherboard, ram, gpu, ssd (prefer this), power supply and maybe an optical drive.
7. Will not overclock.
8. He's playing on a 40" 1080p Samsung TV
9. WHEN do you plan to build it? PLan to buy parts for Christmas and build afterwards. I know I'm a little late, but I can always print a picture of the part out and wrap theat for him!
10. I'm hoping my retail purchased Windows 8.1 will work. I used the free Windows 10 upgrade for my PC.
