Hey guys, I am looking to build a gaming PC pretty soon. I have an older dell box that i bought off Craigslist, and its a intel duo quad core or w/e but I cant really use it for a fresh build. So my main questions are: 1. Which processor should I get? a.i5 3570k b.i5 2500k c.i5 3450 2. Should I upgrade my gpu? (I currently run a gtx 550 Ti) Suggestions please on upgraded gpus 3. Box? (Size, Maker, Accessories, etc.) 4. Is quad core enough, or should I go with an octo or double octo? (8 core; 16 core. My lingo not sure if accurately titled) 5. Power supply? I have a 600w power brick right now that is newish (my old dell battery supply died and was replaced with a 600w.) will that be enough to run my new system? The main things I will be running on my computer are: Media, Gaming, Making Beats (I doubt this is a high usage task), typical internet surfing, and of course CLUTCHFANNING. Any and every suggestion is appreciated
Filthy liberal computer-building f*****! Go burn in hell you bigot!!! I'm just playin'- this should be posted in the Hangout- no harm done.
True. Especially with all the money he will probably have tied up with the defense budget. Norton defense contracts increase annually.
I'm not building a computer currently, but I will need one soon, so I've been doing a little research. I found this article helpful. It's just a starting place, and you can tweak whatever suggestions they have to fit what you need. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2401703,00.asp
What's your budget? If I could I would get a better gpu (which means a higher voltage power source), and probably go with a sandy bridge processor. Then again I don't know your budget so I can't say anything.
