Good morning all,
I’d like some help on speccing a new computer after being away from desktops for 4 years, due to other commitments! I’ve still played a lot of games and use CAD a lot, but on my laptop. So I’d like to get a new PC that will play Star Citizen well (If it ever gets released!
). So would like a powerful system, but I don’t know what’s good these days, been a while since I built one and there’s a lot of new technology out there! Though putting it together seems the same!
I’d like it to be fairly futureproof and quiet, though these are backseat requirements.
My budget is really 2k, though with a bit of flex if it would make worlds of difference.
This budget has to be a “from scratch” deal, as I own nothing. So would like this to include OS, peripherals and two decent 1080p monitors. I prefer having two monitors when I’m doing CAD as one for the modelling/simulation and one for “work”. I’d take 3 monitors, ideally, but I think it might be overkill!
Thank you all, look forward to your views!
Alex
