Greetings.
Here's to hoping that the tech wizards of the LTT forums can help me out.
Looking to buy my first PC. Before now, the only things I had was a laptop that was oh so adaptly named 'the Airplane' by my friend who has an 'EPIC' gaming setup. (And I mean Epic, with a capital 3, for three monitors.) and currently a Surface Pro 2017/18 (Not the Pro 6).
Why? Well, as previously stated before, my current laptop is about five or six years out of date. Takes half an hour to start up, and won't even turn on if there is a USB device connected (A very interesting bug that took some time to discover.)
With only minor knowledge of PC building, i turned to LTT for help. Coincidentally, that same day, LTT released their buyer guide on which companies sold the best Pre-build custom PC's
So, here we go.
I would like to buy from Digital Storm or Maingear (Digital Storm being the first choice.)
Usability-Mostly games, and browsin' the web, but I do tend to have ten or more MS Word docs open at the same time when I do writing.
Gaming-Playing games like Space ENgineers, and such, but I would like to be able to play VR games as well. Also, any tips on hooking up to an Xbox One would be appreciated as well.)
Budget-$2,000-$2,500 US dollars (Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard not included in price.)
Time to buy-I'm not in any rush, need to save up, will probably wait until Black Friday/Cyber Monday for the sales and such.
Case Size (So it will fit in my desk cabinet. Anything larger and it will have to go on top of my desk, or underneath it.)
Length(Depth)-21 inches
Width-10 inches
Height-20 inches
(Personally, I was looking at the Lumos, from Digital Storm.)
Others- I do not have a dedicated wired connection to my room, so the PC would be running off the internet wirelessly. If its possible, a reasonable router and modem might as well be added to the pack. (Priced separately plz.)
So, i think thats it. I hope that one of you will be able to help me. first gaming PC, should be awesome.
