Hello techies. First and foremost I'm happy to be apart this community and will appreciate any help I can get in choosing the correct and most cost effective parts to build my first gaming PC.
1. Will be used for mostly gaming. Does not need to max every single game but needs to run them at a minimum of high settings.
2. Budget is around $800. Please suggest me parts and/or a chassis that will be easy to work with, allowing for future upgrades in graphic card without having to buy a new one (tower).
3. Want a decent 1080p monitor (not factored in the $800), but is not that expensive. Any good cheap monitors under $200?
4. I have no brand preferences at least when it comes to processors, I lean more towards intel. I'm a fan of physx also but if a radeon is equally match with the price of nvidia's, while offering better performance it will be picked.
5. Will be building it from vendors that ship to or within the US.
6. Trying to find good deals on parts, so most likely within a month.
7. I'm not sure about over-clocking. Don't want to break stuff too quickly but I'm still considering a card that will be able to handle it if the need arise.
8. Do need windows because i don't think my upgrade key will work.
I'm currently looking around but any suggestions will help. You guys eat, breathe and sleep computers so I know for a fact I'm in the right place (not necessarily this subsection
