I have a gaming computer from 6 years ago back when AMD came out with its FX 51 and ATI had its 9800XT. Clearly those things are outdated now and cannot really run any of the games or media on the market. I will leave the country in 6 months time and will not come back for another 4 years. I need a gaming rig until then. I don't see the point in getting a brand spanking new machine only to leave it behind in a few month's time. But I still want a new computer because my current computers are slow and lethargic. I want the rig to be able to play at least some of the modern games, connect with my 7.1 surround sound speaker system, play movies, web browsing, work processing, downloading stuff, take my guitar as an input, etc.
I currently have two PCs. One is for 'work' and one is for 'fun'. I want to combine the two this time. I want everything in one place. To replace my work computer, I want to get a home server so that I have this one box where I can place ALL my documents, media, files, etc. And use my gaming rig as the main terminal.
What should I do?
Should I use my old casing and everything and just upgrade? or should build a budget gaming PC? What hardware should I acquire?
What is a good home server to get? or should I just build my own?
Thanks
