I've posted in the past about building my first PC, but decided to get a laptop. Huge mistake, cuz this laptop's video card sucks. Anyways, this time I am going to build my first own PC for sure. My main goal is to build a rig that is easily upgradeable so that I save money in the long-run (i.e. buying the cheapest LGA 1366 processor so I can upgrade it later for super-cheap). I will use this PC for playing games like Dragon-Age: Origins, and web-surfing.
I would like a Micro-tower case since I would only be using a HD, DVD RW, Wireless Network Card, Video Card. Having a bigger case seems unpractical since I won't use the extra drives/slots.
I was thinking about using a LGA 1366 MOBO because the new i9's will be using this socket size. Then again, maybe I should consider an AMD since i hear they usually keep the same size CPUs.
I was thinking about buying a high wattage PSU since I assume that PSU's do not go obsolete, and I could probably use this first PSU for many years.
Of course, I have many more questions, but this would be a great starting point. I'm probably gonna buy all my parts online on Black Friday. I have no budget, but would prefer to spend $750 to $1250.
