I am looking to buy a completely new rig over the next few months and would like to know where to start looking and allocations of budget etc. I have 1800 but really I don't want to spend that all on a rig if I don't have to but I do want a good experience and traditionally blur and erratic framerates do make me feel a tad nauseous so I'd rather avoid those.
The games I would play would likely never be fps at all maybe a little Arma 3 but not much. The games I've enjoyed in the past are Stellaris, Cities Skylines, Black Desert Online and other MMOs, RTS games. That sort of thing.
Therefore to make that work and for it to be a good experience what kind of specs would I need. I'd want monitor and case so suggestions on what panel type etc and percentage to put towards the monitor would be helpful. I think case wise I've decided on the Fractal Design R6 but I am willing to explore other quiet builds as I hate noisy PCs. If I am being stupid though and higher airflow at load will produce a lower volume because the fans won't spin up so much then I'll reconsider.
Thank you for your help. This way I can go away do my own research and come back to check I am not making a stupid mistake. I know to wait for Zen 2 benchmarks and I will do that etc I just want to know what ballpark to look at for the other stuff ie will 144 refresh be a waste for me or would it be too costly to achieve. My initial thoughts were to go 1440p at 27 inch as this seems to be the sweet spot.
