I've had a gaming laptop for the last few years, so I'm way out of the loop on what's what now. I haven't gamed much at all in a while, but want to start up again.
Budget: No budget
Resolution: 1080P maybe 1440
Games / Settings Desired: Star Citizen, ESO, SWTOR, WoW, Fallout 4. High as possible, however I always turn off shadows. I get headaches for some reason with them on.
Any other intensive software or special things you do: none
Country: US
Parts that can be reused: need everything
Do you need an OS? no
Do you need peripherals: no
Even though I don't have a budget I prefer practicality over bragging rights. All I will be doing is gaming. For example, if the difference in performance between an I5 and I7 is single digit I'd rather stick to the I5. Same for GPUs. I would prefer either mini ITX or micro ATX. I don't really want a huge gigantic tower sitting around.
Couple other things I just thought of. I don't need a ton of storage. A 250-500Gb SSD would more than likely be plenty for everything I need. Lastly, I'm in no hurry to build this. With the new processors and gpus coming in a couple months, would it be better to wait?
