Advice Needed

[austinforever]

Hi all. Looking to buy a new pc for gaming, video streaming etc. Are these specs ok or should I be changing anything? Looking for one which will last a few years as well, difficult at my sort of price range. Might seem like a dumb question but for wireless internet access i'd need to add one of those wireless cards right? As you can see, complete noob. Thanks in advance.

Hi Austinforever and welcome.

That spec looks like a solid gaming rig that will have a good run in the future proof game. Nothing seems to be over or under spec.

If you have a wireless router somewhere that you want this machine to connect to, yes you will need a wireless card (or a usb dongle, cards tend to be better).

A very well balanced specificaton. No changes to suggest apart from adding the wireless PCI card

nice specification but i am not sure of the cooling capacity of the case you have chose,the administrators seem to think its ok though
