Hey everyone in PC Specialist land, i'm new to this whole thing, so for the longest of time i have been wanting to get a gaming PC and now i'm at the point where i think i am ready.
I have been a console gamer through and through but there are certain games on PC that i want to experience for the first time that are just impossible to do on console
Now i primarily want this PC for gaming but i will likely use it as my main PC going forward, i want one where i can comfortably play smoothly on most games whilst not pushing the system too hard, i mainly plan on playing Strategy/simulation games for example Mount & Blade 2, Total war series, mabye GTA 5 and etc...basically a PC that can play most games smoothly on high settings if needed without any issues..
I have come up with this spec here and i'd like to know what you guys think of it?
