Hoping you experts can help me with my first build?
I use my current laptop for browsing, storing films and gaming. Games I play are varied, for e.g. Hunter Call Of The Wild, Red Dead Redemption 2, Battlefield, Subnautica, Long Dark, Assassins Creed.
I also use it for Dj'ing with Serato (not sure if this matters...)
When gaming, my laptop has recently been showing it's limitations.
Current Laptop:
Dell Inspiron 7000
Intel Core I7-7700HQ
16GB Ram
256 SSD Plus 1TB HDD
NVIDIA GTX 1050 TI 4GB Graphics
I already have keyboard, mouse, monitor.
Monitor:
AOC CQ32G1 2560x1440 144hz
A may upgrade this to a 4K monitor in future.
Basically, I want my new build to knock spots off the laptop for gaming.
I would want to be playing a range of games in Ultra settings for a few years to come.
I'm happy to upgrade bits in future, so as 'future proof' as possible would be good.
I would like a lot of hard disk space for films/games (around 10 TB+)
I'd rather not have a flashy case, something stylish and not full of lights would be best.
I would need windows too, and as it's my first time building a pc, please pick parts that will fit together!
The 1.5K budget is flexible, but i think 2K should be top end. If my expectations are unrealistic, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!!
