I am looking to get advice on building my next system rig. I have experience assembling the final product, but I would like some assistance with getting some information on the best options I can put into it.
What I am looking for in a system:
1. This will primarily be a gaming rig. I am looking to play newer titles such as Far Cry 4 and larger scale games such as Crusader Kings 2 and the newer Total War games such Rome 2 Total War. There will also be older games such as World of Warcraft, Killing Floor, and minor graphics games such as Binding of Isaac Rebirth, Terraria, and Edge of Space
2. I would like the ability to host games for several of the games listed above, such as Crusader Kings 2, Killing Floor (and its sequel when that comes out).
3. This will double as a workstation. While the system will primarily be used for gaming, I would like the ability to double it as a workstation. For this I will need to run at least one virtual machine (virtualbox being the program), phone software such as PowerAgent, the Office Suite, and multiple instances of Browsers at once, such as Google Chrome and IE with at least 4 tabs each, smoothly and with as little delay as possible. It will also be running a Remote Desktop through VPN as well as all the listed programs.
4. I will be looking to run 2 monitors right off the bat, both with HDMI support, as well as VGA and DVI. I would like to have the capability of running 3 monitors at a later date, but 2 will be mandatory to start with.
5. The components I am looking for will be the Tower and the internal components. External components such as monitors, keyboard, mouse, etc will already be available, so the cost is purely for the Tower and internals.
6. Last but not least, I am looking for all this for around a $1300 budget, and no more than $1600
Any advice would be awesome, thank you!
