Topic: First time buyer Posted: 08 Dec 2016 at 3:13pm |
Budget:
[Please Type Here] $2000 or less, but can go higher Expectations: It's going to be a gaming/general use PC. Usage: Heavy gaming (FO4, Mass Effect Andromeda when it comes out) and web browsing on a 1920x1080 monitor as well as dictation from a headset mic. Special Needs: Internet is through a USB device (I live in the middle of nowhere and piggyback off a cell connection) so if I can get more than two USB ports somewhere on the computer, front or rear, that would be great. Computer often on at night, so a chassis without a light show. Smaller is better. Specifications: [Please Type Here] |

Hi jtav....... Here's a build just a bit over your budget but uses the closed Corsair 600Q case for no light show and quiet.
The gtx 1070 is the recommended card for max gaming on a 1080p monitor. The EVGA has excellant customer support and the ACX version has zero rpm fans below about 64c, and quality components. I opted for the 750watt psu that was about $34 more than the other for its Gold efficiency, fully modular cabling and longer warranty.

Just to add.. the front of the case has 2x USB 2.0 and 2x USB 3.0 ports plus another six or so on the back.
