Need advice on new PC/first time builder
Posted: Sun Sep 17, 2017 1:35 am
Im sorry, just saw the sticky about building guidelines,
My budget is $3000-$3500
I live in Canada
I do need a monitor- 1 for now is fine, will add 1-2 more a little later
1080P is fine for me 144HZ
i also keyboard,headset and speakers
This PC is only for Gaming .
Hello, and GOOD VIBES to all.
So, a little history. I started as a console guy, first playstation then jumped to xbox. Got a job that made me leave for days to weeks at a time. Got really tired of packing/unpacking etc etc. So I bought a "Gaming" laptop. I know i know, most PC gamers are not big fans of PC laptop gamers, anyways, I paid alot of money for this thing, which im still using at this exact moment.
Im sorry, I have had a few beers, Its cohh's fault. Darn DOS 2 drinking game. ( my rules may have slighty differed from Cohh's)
Ok, I would love some feedback on this build, I know next to nothing about buiding a PC. What should I change? What should i maybe keep. I also am aware that the 8th Gen CPU's are coming out next month. I live in canada as well.
The CPU i had was a 7700K, but I found a 7740X for $20 more.
GRAND TOTAL $2940
