Hey guys soo a while back my laptop decided to walk out on me and I have no choice but to buy a new computer/desktop this summer, since I lack the knowledge of what parts are best, here is a list with the current computer parts that I have selected If you think I have selected a bad part or if one part can be better plz tell me Spoiler: Computer parts Minion Case Flame Red AMD Athlon X4 840 3.1GHz (Quad Core) Standard Air Cooling FM2 Chipset Motherboard [Max 16gb Memory] 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz Primary Hard Drive Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD Secondary Hard Drive 2 Terabyte Nvidia Geforce GTX 950 2GB EVGA 500 Watt Power Supply Windows 10 64 Bit Standard Onboard Ethernet (No Wi-Fi) Monitor Acer 18.5 Right now the total cost for that computer is 1,181 US dollars and again don't worry about expenses just suggest and ill see if i am able to add it
I know that depending on your budget there is the new core gen which is skylake and not too bad. For this they used new kind of motherboard and DDR4 ram which is not a big change itself, but it allows your more flexibility in the future to change some piece since you will not be able to use DDR3 (kind of) anymore And they put this sata express thing on some motherboard that allow you to have a faster transfer rate and exploit your SSD at a better potential ( you might want to wait a confirmation on that xD) In the end it depends on what you will use your computer for (obviously)
This, some parts are designed for some things and others designed for others, and for some you can't have both, so you really need to know what you're building it for to make a decision on what you'll get
You can also wait until the end of this month when the 1080 comes out and buy a used graphics card. I'm sure there will be many who buy the new card and sell the old one.
