Hello everyone, firstly, thank you for your time!
Budget (USD): $800-$1000 (Preferably, under $900)
Aim: 3D Design, Light Video Editing, Gaming (CS:GO, GTA IV, GTA V (When it comes out), Insurgency, Minecraft, etc.)
Monitors: Currently, a 20” 1600x900 VGA monitor. I am planning on eventually having a duel VGA or HDMI setup.
(So either buying a duplicate of my current, or 2 new HDMI/VGA)
Peripherals: I am planning on getting a Zowie FK1, any suggestions are appreciated. I am planning on keeping my stock keyboard. Any suggestions for a good headset or headphones and mics would be great. I will need a copy of Windows.
Why are you upgrading? I am upgrading because my current rig isn’t enough for what I do now.
Questions:
Would I be able to take my old Optical Drive and put it into the new rig?
Would I be able to take my old Hard Drive and put it into the new rig? (Have 2 drives)
Is there anything else that I should buy? (Thermal Paste, Wires, Anti-Static Mats, etc.)
