Hi all. I'm looking to build a new gaming PC. I primarily play MMOs and my main criteria for my new PC is that I want to be able to play with maximum view distance. I'm fine if the detail isn't "ultra" or w/e but I find that extra view distance greatly enhances my gaming experience so I'd like to maximize that. With that said, I currently have a 23" monitor and would like to upgrade to a 27" monitor.
1. What YOUR PC will be used for: In addition to the above, I also do photo editing on my computer (2011 mpb hooked up to a 23" monitor). I haven't encountered any major issues on my current setup wrt photo editing so I'd focus more on my gaming requirements.
2. My budget is flexible but a ballpark estimate is around $1500 /not/ including a new monitor. I'm going to buy a 27" monitor along with this system but I'd like to keep that cost separate.
3. United States.
4. I'll buy parts from anywhere.
5. No brand preferences.
6. No current parts.
7. I'm perfectly willing to overclock but I am pretty conservative. I want my system to be stable.
8. In an ideal world I'd be using a 1440p 27" monitor. I'm looking to spend around $1500 on the new computer (minus the monitor) but I'm willing to go up to 2k if I can achieve my requirements.
9. WHEN do you plan to build it? ASAP.
X. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software? No.
My primary goal is to be able to play MMOs at max view distance on a 27" monitor with 1440p resolution. I play Guild Wars 2 now with a focus on WvW (world vs world, tl;dr battles with up to 100+ players vs 100+ players that tax the hard drive + cpu in addition to the GPU).
I'd also like for my new PC to be as quiet as possible. I'm willing to budget up to $200 for a case that keeps my set-up quiet.
Thanks for any help!
