'Okay copy and pasted aboveis a link to my last thread, as I made a thread and was answered by stulid, my brother in law got his build and it was much appreciated! now onto my build'
So...
I had my baby boy hes 9 months old, finances are far better, and my old old gaming rig that I built myself back about 7 years ago has finally died and admitted defeat to new games! so this will be a COMPLETELY fresh build.
- Budget £1500 (can be under can be over just spec me something that I can start to look at as I want to order this week!)
- No mouse and keyboard needed. (suggestions are welcome but i will buy this later as I have some that will work for now.)
- I already have my old 24" monitor will look into upgrades for this later, so no monitor needed.
- NO OS is needed. (already got windows 7 + product key, and will probably upgrade to windows 10 when its released fully as its free!)
-Case Needed. (would love for someone to recommend the case all the recommended components will fit in and everything i would need so I could literally find their fully explained list hit buy and build this machine!)
-Almost forgot AIR COOLED please! I hate the idea of a watercooled setup If PC's these days need them then fair enough I just hate the idea of it, and would prefer air if its still possible to keep it quiet with air!
I play a game that many of you may not of heard of Called 'Lineage 2' generally want to be able to load 3-5 clients without issues of lag or anything which I could still load 2-3 on my old 4gb ram ddr2 build so im assuming a new one will do this with ease anyway...
other games I would like to be able to play on their highest settings include GTA, Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Fallout 4 when its available! and all the other games around these specs so yeah guys spec me something serious!
Ide prefer not to have to upgrade for hopefully as long as my last although I think I was lucky with my last to be able to go so long..
I may look to overclock it further down the line if it ever starts to become slow although ive never done this and never overclocked at all on my previous pc so this isn't important to me unless you guys think its something im missing out on doing for extra performance.. but I think jumping from what I had to whats available now is going to be a serious boost that will shock me tbh!
Ide like an SSD + HD Combo (1tb/2tb HD for storage not one of those eco things)
OLD PC SPECS so you can see what I was working with..
ASUS M2R32-MVP 580X CrossFire Socket AM2 8 channel audio ATX Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ (3.2 GHz) Socket AM2 L2 2MB (2x1MB)
the above components were replaced with the below two, as my friend had finished with them so I thought they were better than what I had!
MOBO - NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI
CPU - INTEL CORE 2 QUAD CPU Q6600 @ 2.4GHZ
Ram - 4GB DDRII 800Mhz RAM
HDD - 500GB 7200rpm S-ATA2 Hard Drive
GFX - HD 3850 1GB GDDR3 Dual DVI HDTV Out PCI-E Graphics Card
I appreciate this is a long read sorry guys but yeah spec away!
