So I'm thinking about buying a new computer and I thought I'd ask for a recommendation!
My thoughts:
1) I will only need the base station: I have Windows 7 (unless Windows 8 is worth it?), a monitor, speakers etc already.
2) I'd like it to be really quiet as I hate noisy computers.
3) I don't really play a great deal at the moment, but I'd like to play Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous on high graphics when they come out.
4) Not really bothered about cost as I haven't upgraded for five years, but I don't want to waste money on something that will be worth hundreds of pounds less tomorrow.
As Star Citizen is a way off and presumably 4K, does it make more sense getting a lower end computer now and then buying a new one when it comes out? Or could I get away with decent quality components and just changing my graphics card?
I'd basically like an upgrade now because I haven't bought myself anything for a while, my computer takes too long to boot, and I want to have a PC that I can keep away from my girlfriend so that it's protected from viruses. Plus there are a few games such as Wasteland 2 that I would like to play at max settings without issue.
Cheers!
Chris
