Budget
Up to $2000 CAD.
Resolution
1920x1080 - I've never tried anything higher than that. If it's really recommended I have nothing against going higher, but I'm more than happy staying at this resolution.
Games / Settings Desired
As of right now WoW, D3, OW, SC2, CS:GO, The Witcher 3, and BF1 when it comes out. Would like to have all settings as high as possible.
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc)
Nothing too crazy.
Country
Canada.
Parts that can be reused
None. Currently using an old laptop with an HDMI cable into a monitor.
Do you need an OS?
Yes.
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)?
I'll only need a monitor. I currently have an old 1920x1080 60Hz one, so I was looking into a ASUS VG248QE or BenQ XL2411Z, but then I stumbled upon G-Sync and FreeSync and not 100% sure which would be best (plus depending on which GPU I go with).
My list right now:
Case/Fans:
Not sure
PS:
EVGA G2 650W
CPU:
Intel 6600K
Heatsink:
Not sure
Motherboard:
ASUS Z170-A
Memory:
Not sure
GPU:
Not sure
SSD:
Samsung 850 EVO 500GB
DVD:
ASUS 24X SATA DVD+/-RW
I'm not in a huge rush to get this as the summer is just starting, so if it's recommended to hold off for a couple of months, I have no problem with that.
Finally, I do have a long-haired cat that sheds quite a bit so if the case can have ways of preventing fur/dust from getting inside, that would be epic.
