Finally trying to upgrade from my laptop
What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.
I'm trying to build a mid-range gaming PC. Mostly to play MMORPGs (eg FFXIV) and older RPGs (eg The Witcher III). Not looking for the best - if I could reasonably get 60fps at medium graphic settings, that would be perfect. Also using some drawing and map design programs.
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
500 USD.
When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.
As soon as possible.
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)
All internal hardware.
Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?
Russia
If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
None
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
No
Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)
An SSD
Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?
The case is largely unimportant to me, happy to go with the cheapest option.
Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?
No
Extra info or particulars: None come to mind.
