Hello Everyone,
A short while ago, I found myself with a new job and a larger income.
I'm playing on a mid budget pc from 2006 now and well most games need to be played at low setting or hardly play at all. (Witcher 2 has a whopping 18 FPS)
Today I've decided: Enough. It's time for a new pc.
I live in the Netherlands in a more remote area. There are some PC shops but I have a feeling they overpriced their components. Plus they become all technical and I'm a bit of a noob regarding pc building (this will be my first build)
I already have a keyboard, boxes, mouse and a nice 1920 x 1080 monitor already so it's just the PC that needs to be bought.
Marest's gaming builds (1470) are very nice (I think) but some parts got discontinued and according to a guildie some pieces were already a bit outdated.
My budget is 1600 euro. Nothing more then that. Since I am a teacher, Windows 8 and Word are nearly free in the Netherlands (10 euro each)
My goal: A PC that can handle the Witcher 3, new batman, Dragon age 3 (so near future games) on high/ultra settings. I understand that with each passing year the max setting of a game becomes higher and thus that I have to settle with medium graphics etc. But I would love to postpone that just like anyone else
The PC must last at least 5 years, excluding weird hardware jumps that nobody can predict.
Sometimes I make Youtube video's to explain some biology subjects etc. It's nothing too special, must stuff is done in Movie maker and Sony Vegas.
Can the MMO community help this soon-to-be pc builder?
