Looking to build my first gaming PC in the near future (within a month or so) and wanted to see what the community thought about the parts I had picked out.
Let me know of any recommendations and/or improvements that can be made while still staying on budget.
Thanks in advance!
Current parts list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/TheKryt1kal/saved/2Ukt
1. Budget & Location $1500 - $1600, located in North Carolina. I've already planned on ordering most of the parts from Newegg, unless Amazon has something cheaper. 2. Aim Gaming. And by gaming I mean Far Cry 3, Battlefield 4, The Forest (http://survivetheforest.com) and other similar titles. I plan on trying out some MMOs such as LOTRO as well. Other than that, I will probably only use this machine for some programming and web browsing. 3. Monitors Just bought a BenQ 24" 1080p gaming monitor (RL2455HM) and don't plan on adding any more anytime soon. 4. Peripherals I will need peripherals (keyboard, mouse, and headset mainly) but those are not factored into the budget. I feel like those are too much of a personal preference to be recommended on an online forum. 5. Why are you upgrading? I'm ready to make the switch from console gaming (these "next-gen" consoles don't strike my fancy) and my MacBook Pro just doesn't cut it for gaming.
