Well Im not going to build it but I wanted to start a thread to spec out a new PC.... Thing is I seriously need good advice and you are the guys I trust over anyone else....
So, I want it to be VR compliant. Initially, I am not going for VR but I will when the 4k screen based VR is a stable product.
Let's say $3500 overall with $1000 for future VR. That's $2500 for the PC.
Ive tabular it to start picking stuff. Nothing fixed and changes as ideas change is the intention,,, I am going to buy from Overclockers in one go I think. I appreciate it may cost more, I might ask them to build it too...
Okay - I am starting to buy stuff... Marked in Red[/font]
Factors...
So, Id really appreciate it your opinions. The numbering shoulkd help... Thanks...
