Hi all, this is my first post on OC forums and I couldn't find the new-guy section if there is one. So I guess I'll stop by and say hello. I come to you guys here today to help me with a moderate gaming build. I've done enough lurking so I think I've come up with a decent build.
Purpose: *list your primary uses: Gaming/College/Internet/Light Vid. Editing*
Budget: *750-800 USD for now*
Location: *My main locations are in North VA and South NJ, although I have family in other states to avoid instate taxes*
Component List *I only have a bias towards Intel Processors*
My main goals are reliability and semi-future proof. I'm aware that Intel is discontinuing the LGA 1155 sockets next year so I'm hoping it'll last. Light overclocking for me is realistic, but not right off the bat. Main games I'll play are WoW, D3, MFS, Minecraft and similar games. I also play to do video editing and light CAD/ 3D design on this as well. Anything that needs to be replaced immediately or isn't compatible is what my worry is really about. Also, if I left any important info out, let me know. Thanks.
