Some of you may remember me from when I was on TPU about 2 years ago before leaving for the military. Believe it or not, I feel out of the game!! Let me tell you guys what I am looking for and I would love advice from anyone....
First- I am doing a new build(semi-budget gaming) I don't want my hardware to be outdated really quick and i don't want to spend a fortune. I also want room for future upgrades. I would like PCI3.0 and USB3.0. Any ideas for parts or certain things to look for anyone could suggest for me? Anyone mind schooling me on this new AMD processor coming out? I am buying slowly and buying used hardware here on the forums. I am willing to wait on purchasing parts and I can wait a month or two if new products are going to be released.
Basic idea for current build --
Nice processor and mobo
Decent GPU with future for additional GPU (xfire)
Regular 7200rpm HDD
8gb 1600mhz ram
Basic Idea for future--
Same processor and mobo with nice heatsink and overclocked
2 GPUS nvidia or AMD in Xfire
SSD boot drive and reg HDD for storage
16GB ram overclocked.
I know that this is very vague but again any information is a great help and I appreciate it all!
