Looking to build my very first pc and after any help I can get.
Your Current specs: An old pre built pc that cannot run any games, very slow and very old.
Budget: £800 - £900
Main Use: This will be my one and only PC so although the primary focus is to replace my consoles and be a games machine I will also be using to for general use such as Internet browsing etc
Monitor Resolution: Current monitor is 1366 x 768. I also have a 42" Tv I would like to plug it in to now and again. A monitor upgrade isn't something I need straight away but in the future I would consider upgrading.
List SPECIFIC games or applications that you MUST be able to run well: As a console gamer 60fps isn't a big deal to me, I will be more than happy to comfortably play at 30 fps and if I go over that consider it a bonus. I would like to be able to buy any game and feel comfortable knowing I can run it very well. Emulation would be nice but if it requires a crazy £2000 pc I can pass on it. Games I would like to play include battlefield 3 and battlefield 4 when it releases., Dota 2, Starcraft 2 and just generally be able to throw anything at it.
Looking to reuse any parts?: None
When will you build?: I intend to buy some parts today and the rest next month
Will you be overclocking?: As it is my very first build I'm not sure if this would be a wise decision
I have gone through pcpartpicker and this is what I chose. Ay suggestions or am I about ready to buy?
