Hi
I have never done this before and have a couple of questions. I want the PC to play games (but not worried about maxing performance on high level games). We also watch quite a lot of films and TV series. I also need plenty of space for music and photos etc.
The budget is around £1000 all in inc monitor etc.
The questions I have are will the CPU and Graphics work well for games like Dawn of War and Diablo 3? Would I be better going for an AMD card?
Which cable do I need to connect the monitor to the card? I am presuming DVI
I need a wireless card, what is the difference between PCI and PCI-E?
Is this a sensible build given my budget
You thoughts are appreciated.
