Do you really need a SSD?
And do you really need a 3TB HDD?
Quote from: Simseoh on January 14, 2016, 09:00:39 AMDo you really need a SSD?Yeah, for my OS. QuoteAnd do you really need a 3TB HDD?Hard drive space is always a good thing to have.
I only have a 1TB HDD, and my OS loads quickly. <30 seconds.
What are you planning to store? Have you got a lot of media you'd prefer to save? I honestly think 3TB is overkill unless you've got a lot of media.

What were the loading times on your laptop? Building a new computer with better hardware will certainly help with loading times, as I said before, I'm using a HDD and my loading times are <30 seconds. You could try just getting a HDD first, then getting a SSD later if you're unhappy with the load times.

That graphics card is crap.
An i5 4460 would be better and cheaper, and you would have a better upgrade path too.
Personally, I don't think 3 tb is necessary, so I would cut that down to 1.
The money that you save from doing these things can go towards a better gpu, because that card will be outdated soon enough

Does the 4460 fit the bill?QuotePersonally, I don't think 3 tb is necessary, so I would cut that down to 1.It's necessary.QuoteThe money that you save from doing these things can go towards a better gpu, because that card will be outdated soon enoughI don't need a better GPU, though.
The 4460 would be better than those two and the 8350.
I would recommend getting a better card even if you don't think you need it now, just in case.

That's it. I have a PS4 in the event that I need to play anything new.

I'd actually be surprised if the emulator you're gonna run for the gamecube games even goes dual core.

>Not getting a 980ti>Not getting an i7-6700K>Only 8GB of RAMOP is a pleb.

From what I've been playing, I know I can run Arma III on low settings, CS: GO on medium (I think).
