Help build a gaming rig
Hello all.
Iv'e decided to update my gaming hardware because my six year old rig is showing signs of wear and tear.
The problem is is that the last time I was remotely interested in computer hardware was about six years ago...when I built my last rig.
Sooooo I'm begging for help as catching up on the latest hardware news is a bit hard for me...*cough*...lazy...
Here's the deal, I have around a thousand dollars budget (30,000
to build the rig, doesn't mean the whole thousand has to go
But i would be grateful if what I build will be the best I can get with my current budget.
I'm open to all suggestions concerning hardware.
If anyone is willing to help I am all ears and heart.
Oh and i'm based in Moscow, not really relevant, just so you know.
And the speccy of my current ancient rig (just for the the pity)!
