Good evening all,
I'm looking at building my first desktop - I'm pretty new to the forum and would appreciate any help that you could give me.
Budget-wise I'm looking at around £1k for the actual build with a 1080p monitor on top of that. The sort of games that I'd be running on it would be League of Legends, Fallout, Battlefield, Ark, DayZ etc - by no stretch expecting it to run at the highest settings for everything, I'm just done with my current laptop where that isn't even remotely an option!
Feel free to treat me like I know very little - never built one before!
Rough sort of thing I'd be after:
- i5/i7 Quadcore (one of the overclock models)
- 16GB RAM
- SSD
- Not checked graphics cards actually, one that should hopefully do me for the foreseeable future!
- 1TB internal hard drive - would bumping up from 5400rpm to 7200rpm make much difference performance-wise?
- Tower - something pretty! Maybe £60-80
Beyond that I haven't really got much in the way of specs - I'd really appreciate any help or suggestions you could give me.
Thanks in advance,
Alex
