I am so excited that I am finally going to be able to buy a new computer. I am going to go from a $300 Walmart piece of crap desktop to hopefully an amazing going to blow my mind PC.
I have been exploring a lot of options ( watching many helpful youtube videos )
This is what I have right now in an online shopping cart
I honestly don't know anything about a lot of this. Do you think this $1,700 computer build is way overkill for what I need or do you think it's a good investment that will last for many years to come? The only PC game I play is World of Warcraft. I would like to be able to play it at ultra settings. I also want my surfing of the web to be ultra fast. I am sure there are more demanding games out there then WOW. Please any advise ( especially to help save me money and not dwindle performance too much ) would be greatly appreciated!!
I know I can just buy a $1,000 computer with everything in it but I think I would enjoy it very much to try and challenge myself and put my own together.
