Suggestion on gaming cpu.

[stickyex]

Budget about $2k, but willing to go above to maybe $2.5k etc

No need: Monitor/KB+M/Headset.

Need: OS.

Main usage for gaming. Don't plan to OC. Wants to run below games at minimum 60 fps @ max settings:

MGS: PP
Fallout 4
Batman Arkham Knight
Mad Max
Witcher 3

and be relatively 3 years proof.

Will be gaming at 1080 but plans to upgrade to 1440 in the near future. So graphics card should accommodate that.

Q: Do people usually recycle their old SSD/HDD/Rams?

Q: Do people usually recycle their old SSD/HDD/Rams?

SSD and HDD yes, why not? As long as still working, just port over to new PC.

RAM no.

 

[terraflare]

Strongly recommend 16gb ram. I built my rig on right and originally put 8 and it always give me low moemory error when alt tanning between games and browser.

When you get the core i5 4460, does it come cpu cooler fans together? Like a package? Or just the cpu only no fans, must buy seperately?
