Hello Guys!  :D  :D  

so, i want to build a PC and i was helping you would help me to decide what specifications should i go for and what parts to choose  :) 

 

1. Budget & Location

I don't have an exact budget but I'm keeping in my mind to spend around 800 us dollars , I live in Oman (if you don't know where Oman is its  beside UAE  :D ) and i would have to order most of the parts that i need from amazon and the shipping just costs a lot but what to do there is no other way  :D   .

 

 

 

2. Aim

Now I'm using a dell laptop which has a core i7, 8 GB ram, GeForce GT-525M running Win 8.1,

i want the PC to be extremely fast (i cant stand slow computers or laptops)  i will be using the Pc mostly to surf the internet and stream movies and download them and download music as well and maybe play  lol, minecraft and will be using Photoshop sometimes and that's it for my use and i would like it to be small like for example using the corsair 350D case and i would like it to have a matching color scheme blue for example or may be red/black.  :P .

 

 

3. Monitors

Actually i don't use a monitor i use a 32" Samsung led as a monitor i use it for my Ps3, Ps4, Xbox and i have connected my laptop to it and using it .

 

 

 

4.Why are you upgrading?

I'm buying the surface pro 3 and getting rid of my laptop and as i said its always attached to my TV so I'm thinking in building a new extremely good looking fast PC  :D  :P .

 

 

Thank you,

Thank you, 

You can't have an extremely fast computer. Computers are known to slow down over time. It's just logic. I think a 750Ti may be able to fit your gaming needs.
