Hello everyone,

 

Well since I got more into consoles for more of my gaming. I plan to head back to computers some time soon. Reason being is that they can do the same but more. But unfortunately I basically lost the basics and everything of computers like when I did 2-3 years ago.

 

So I need some help building my computer. I'd rather have the store put all the parts together and pay them cause if I do then i will break something about 95% of the time. And so I need to find a good gaming computer that can and will be able to hold more of: Flight Simulator X, Emergency 4, Minecraft, & GTA IV, BF3 (Including Mods for all games). And maybe some other future game I may like.

 

I also need some help getting some really good spyware and and virus protecting software and some other software that will make my PC running smooth for a couple years that can hopefully make it about 5-10 years without any issues.

 

So if someone can maybe explain to my what type of computer would fit my spot. What type of equipment I should get and how much are we talking just for this altogether. Thanks and hope i could explain the best way I could and any good support would certainly be appreciative.

As first, what's your budget?

I am not to sure. If I get a Job and I think it's worth it I may buy it. Just something not over $1,500.

Mushkin 8 GB RAM 1600 MHz, $60 I gues

 

ASUS MATRIX GTX580, about $520

 

ASUS P8P67 PRO $160

 

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1 TB 7.200 RPM $60

 

Antec Case about $60 or so?

Mostly the same as before, but with more futureproof CPU, SSD, and a CPU cooler.

Both of these builds are very well balanced.

The latter build will definitely be ok in 5 years time, the SSD for windows and applications will ensure a very fast boot time and application use for the next few years, and as SSD's get cheaper you can swap in a SSD HDD

The former will be good now, but for future purposes i would not want to have it.

 

You think it would be necessary to have a mobo with more USB 3 and PCIE and sata III?
