I would like to build a computer from scratch. After moving a lot I am finally going to get a desktop but I don't want to overlook anything and wonder why I'm missing a cable or why I forgot to get a set of speakers o.O
Budget: 1,000
Wanted:
22/23inch monitor 1980x1200 or so Resolution (May keep monitor with next purchase)
Able to play WoW, SWToR, SC2, Skyrim, D3, GW2 and whatever I might buy next year (usually RPGs or RPG-hybrids) at High settings (I plan to raid/ladder on low settings if needed - even if it can handle a 25man raid on high, if it gets more FPS on low I will raid on low, after all I've been doing that for the last few years).
I'd also like to re-use the GPU I get if that's a good idea (ie, add it to my next system with another GPU, or do I have to get a specific GPU for that? In which case I won't worry about it).
I need windows and all peripherals (speakers, mouse, keyboard, am I forgetting something?)
Will I have all the power cables needed with the directly purchased pieces or will I have to buy individual ones?
Can I base this on an i5-2500k? I've read a lot of this forum in the last few days and seen comments that it's the best gaming option for a CPU right now. Could I then plan on adding a better GPU, maybe a second monitor, and an SSD next year but rely on the same CPU?
Please let me know if I skipped anything or if I should add any info at all,
Thanks!
Edit: forgot to mention I'm in Miami Florida.
Also, keep in mind I do plan on upgrading or buying a new setup and keeping the onitor (as mentioned above) and other parts if posible. With that in mind, feel free to lay out an ok build but point out what I would want to replace first in say, 6 or 9 months.
Would that mean i3 instead of i5 but a good GPU for now? Or i5 now and low-end GPU for 9 months? There's probably plenty of room to play with within what I need.
