Hi. So after many years of decent service my computer broke and being addicted to it im desperate to build a new one. I know next to nothing about computers, it's parts and how it all works and probably the best option for me would be to buy a complete package, but i have a belief that building one myself would benefit me because i will be able to upgrade it easier down the road.
So. The goal is computer able to run all games for at least another year at high settings. Budget 1000-1500 excluding case (cheapest part lol)
Need advices on parts compatibility and any ways to get a better build.
-So far i know that motherboard is the most important thing so im thinking of Asus maximus VI extreme. Should be able to use it for quite a while, right? (400$)
-Then of course video card to run games. Price/performance wise GTX 780 looks good. Should i get one from Asus or Zotiac(easier to get) would fit just fine? (650$)
-To power all that up - Corsair AXi AX760i 760w. Looks like should be enough. Not really conserned about noise level, tho reviews say it's very low. (190$)
- RAM. Here i basically have 2 choices (i hope so). 1. Use my old one for now,save some money on it and then get better one. 2. Get something like Corsair dominator 16Gb (2x8 Gb) (120$)
Not sure what kind of cooling i would need for this and what am i missing from it to make it a working pc.
Any kind of help and advice is very much apriciated
