Need help finding a new pc please!

[Welsper59]

I saw a thread about graphics cards, I would like to get a new desktop. I have about $1,000 to spend and I'd like to try and get the most bang for my buck. Any suggestions would be welcome, I do not really have a pref on chipset or card types/brands.

Do you have parts on your current computer that you could reuse? Like an SSD and HDD storage setup going now or decent RAM. Even the case, assuming it's not a retail brand that's a unique size (like Dell's compact towers). All of these things will cut down on cost or allow you to spend a bit more on better quality parts.

also make sure it's 64 bit system.

As noted by ManuelBravo, do you have an OS you can reuse too? Ideally a 64bit version.

I doubt anything in my current pc is useful now, this is my current pc:

AlienWare... Basically to an IT person that's just a code-name for 'overpriced, un-upgradable pile of silicon you'll need to replace in a year'.

Most of these specialty, "high performance" machines really aren't worth the money you dump into them initially when you start looking at the long term. For instance, a computer like this fits nicely into that budget you have, more than meets the specs for the game AND has upgradability in the processor, graphics card and drives that will extend the value of the purchase up to and probably beyond even 5 years: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16883221310

Do yourself a favor, if you don't know how to assemble a computer or change parts, find somewhere to learn, be it videos or classes or a friend. Learning how to swap out parts and upgrade on you own will not only make your rig what you want it to be but keep it running better longer.

P.S. Also, for me, if I buy a new graphics card for myself, I sell the old one mildly used for a discount on the store price, helps reduce the cost of upgrades a bit.
