Hi, I hope you are all having a great day
After building my first ever computer last year using only parts I found in the garbage, I am ready to build my first gaming computer. I come from ps3 and APU gaming so this will be a big deal of a project for me and I want to get it right.
I am planning on using this computer for gaming and basic office work. The games I want to play are "War Thunder" and "Age Of Empires IV" (when it comes out). I would like to get 50-60 fps with high or max settings and HD gameplay. When it comes to budget I am looking for a something under 1500 CAD/ 1200 USD/ 1000 EUR (before taxes) for the machine (excluding screen, mouse, keyboard). I want my setup to be as future proof as possible (cpu, ram, gpu uprades).
I would like to hear your recommandations for the specs and parts I should look for. So far I had these specs in mind:
-500GB SSD
-16 GB DDR4
-3-4Ghz CPU
-1060/1070/1080 GPU (I know the top ones are probably beyond my budget :'( F"/$% miners )
Are these specs enough for my needs? What parts (model/brand) should I buy? Is my budget big enough for what I want?
Thank you very very much!
