Hello,
So my budget fell through for my build a couple months ago, but I am back and within a couple weeks of being able to make my computer. Since then I have been convinced to go with an Intel i7 over the AMD 1090t. This will be my first build, and I am unsure how to best distribute my budget. I have aprox 1600 dollors to spend, I would prefer to come out under, but if the price is right I could be convinced to go a bit closer to 1700. I have never overclocked, and I'm not planning on doing so any time soon. I would like to have an i7 processor, and a descent graphics card. My computer will be mainly for gaming (D3, FF14, etc...). But as an Engineering student, I would also like to have the ability to process large data files. I already have the OS and a mouse, but thats all I have. So that means I need everything else within my budget. Including keyboard, Monitor, tower etc... One of my friends is all about his new SSD, but im not sure if its worth it in my budget? Please Help get me started on the best rig I can get for my money! (newegg please)
Thanks!
