Getting a new rig

[August__]

Hi guys,

I am currently looking to get a new rig that is able to support some programming, NOX and gaming. I will also prefer if it can run dual screen and also have a case that is not too big.

There are some parts that I would like to reuse from my old computer, like: TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 2TB HDD
Sony Optiarc 24X CD/DVD Writer ODD

My old computer is using a ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 Twin Fan 2GB GDDR5 OC, I am not sure if I should continue using this or upgrade to a better one.

My budget will be around 1-1.2k, I do not need any additional peripherals. As for the OS, I still have my Win7 disc, not sure if I should change to Win10.

Hope you guys can help me out, thanks!

Do you do overclocking?

Given your budget plus usage, I would suggest you keep your gtx960.

Continue with Windows 7 too. Maybe if you want can get free upgrade to Windows 10? Totally up to you.

Nope.

Alright.

I guess I will continue with Win7 for now.

Just wondering, is it necessary for me to get an i7? Or is an i5 sufficient for my current use?

 

[singupingu]

That depends on your usage and how heavy is your programming. Hahaha. If heavy usage then the hyper threading from i7 will be beneficial for you.

i5 can work too. If budget is a concern then down to i5 also okay.

For now, I'm just using doing C and Java programming. I'm not sure what other types of programming I will be doing in the future.

One screen for gaming/programming, 1 screen for web browsing/watching shows.

I'm only running 1 nox.

Alright.

In this case, do I need to get a better gpu?
