Hi all,
Looking to put together first order and am looking for a basic gaming pc. Nothing taxing but mostly strategy games like civ / aoe. Existing pc is 5 years old and on its last legs. Am not desperate for super high settings or playing the most demanding games, I have Xbox for shooters/skyrim etc.
I am not fussed about case Looks / monitors / accessories as it is plumbed in through my tv and have wireless keyboard/mouse.
Looking to spend around 500 but wouldn't go much above this spec as the max cost but wanted the expert opinions as to changes/modifications to it. I am not predicting I'll be replacing parts myself.
Will this do the job? What changes would you suggest?
Major questions were intel/amd to bring down cost?
