Hi all,
I need some advice on a new pc build, in the past i've always had laptops but have decided that since my last laptop was basically a desktop replacement it lost its ability to be a "laptop" as it was too big and heavy to be portable. I figured if i'm going to have always be at my desk makes more sense to get a desktop.
I mainly need this for work, I'm a software developer so will require software like (lamp stack, java, phpStorm, maybe netbeans etc no graphical software) will plan to have both windows and linux installed as OS's.
I would also like to be able to play games on this machine, currently i have a 23" wide screen monitor resolution 1920x1080 (i do plan on getting a second monitor in the future) but for the basis of this chances are i will only ever play games on singal monitor of 1920x1080 as im not a massive gamer.
Games i would like to play would be GTA, COD, modern warefare etc (all latest versions) but would also like to be able to play future games even if the settings were between low-medium.
The current research i've done suggest a i5-5670 & a GTX770 would suit my requirements and could probably get away with a 600w power supply? but as for other requirements CPU cooler, motherboard etc im not sure about.
my budget is around 900 - 1100 ideally around the 1000 mark (i dont need monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers etc) if some kind soul could help me out with a build i would be very grateful.
I think i would prefer intel & nvida over amd however my mind is not closed on non-intel i have just always had intel.
Thanks guys sorry it was a long message i just wanted to give as much info as possible to be helpful
