First off, hey!
I've been contemplating trying PC gaming out for a while now, and after lots of reading and research I've decided to go for it.
Obviously I'm not looking to go into this too hardcore financially (for the moment at least) so I'm in the market for a simplistic build. Mainly this build will be used to play FPS, specifically BF4.
After my research I've come up with my own "starter pack" of what I think I should get in order to be able to run the game at what I would like; preferably 1080p and at or above 60fps. So far this: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ is what I've picked out. Keep in mind I'm not looking to go big $$ into this yet, I'm only looking to spend ~$500 on cpu, mobo, ram, hdd, psu, and case. The video card i understand will be significantly more than most components in order to run at those specs, so I've kind of got an "open" budget for that atm.
For a monitor I think I'll be going with the BenQ RL2460HT.
My questions are:
-What are your opinions on what I've picked out so far?
-What would be a good case for less $$? (I just need it to work, aesthetics don't worry me too much)
-What is the most "bang for your buck" for a card to be able to run those specs?
Sorry, I don't really know if that's asking a lot, I'm just a little eager to get into this. Any feedback/help is appreciated, thanks!
