Hey all – I’m looking for input for what kind of system I need and would really appreciate any thoughts. I’ve read the notice here on the forums and very much hope the following makes sense:
Thank you so much in advance for any thoughts!
Regards, Stefan
- I will use the system for occasional gaming besides some light word processing, saving family photos and such.
Games like The Warhammer Total War games, GTA V, Far Cry 4 and 5, Call of Duty WWII, Battlefield 1, Mass Effect Andromeda, Dragon Age Inquisition, Civilization 6, Pillars of Eternity 2, X Com 2.
I don’t know where to put this, but it is a priority for me, that the system is quiet – so I would also prioritize, e.g, quiet cabinet, quiet 3rd party coolers and such.
- My budget is about 1100-1200 USD / 825-900 GBP / 7.000-8.000 DKK
- I’ll be buying in Denmark. I plan on buying from the following website and also ask them to assemble it for me: https://www.compumail.dk/en/home (via their “pc configurator”). While I could probably find some parts cheaper elsewhere, I've found them to be reasonably priced and reliable - and it is a priority for me to have them assemble it.
- I don’t really have any brand preferences (in the past I’ve mostly ended up using AMD, but not by any masterplan).
- I don’t have any existing parts for the PC itself (I’m replacing a 12 year old system). Peripherals I do have, however, that is monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse and such).
- I do not mess with overclocking and such.
- Monitor resolution is 1920*1080.
- I expect to be buying at the end of March / start of April.
- I need a copy of windows 10 to go with the PC, but not any other software.
Thank you so much in advance for any thoughts!
Regards, Stefan
