First build

[LinKuei06]

I'm wanting to build a gaming pc for me and my wife but I have no experience in building a pc.

 

I have no preference in amd or intel as long as it runs games.

 

1. Budget & Location

No more than $900 US. Will upgrade yearly if possible.

2. Aim

Gaming, I want to be able to play at least on medium settings Sims 4, Star Wars the Old Republic, StarCraft 2, and Total War: Shogun 2. Not currently playing first person shooters.

3. Monitors

1 monitor

Do you own a display already or do you need one?

Thanks everyone, and I have a monitor but the one suggested is better than the one I have.
