Okay so, wow, I wasn't expecting this many replies. Maybe two at the most. I love this community. <3
I've been really busy these past few days so I was strapped for time when I did my intro post (really I wanted to post it like a week ago but wasn't sure how to word it). And I'm strapped again so I'll make a quick reply. Tomorrow my schedule gets better so I can reply more thoroughly then but for now...
Here's a quick list of what I want to play:
The Sims
The Sims 2
Tycoon games (Rollercoaster, Zoo)
Civilization games (V is the most recent I think?)
Sim City (not really sure what's most recent here, I just remember one of them having a HUGE public outcry recently for some reason, so, probably want to avoid that one)
Joe Danger
Bastion
Limbo
Mark of the Ninja
Duke Nukem 3D
Ultra Street Fighter IV
Some of those games are old (I mean Duke freaking Nukem 3D. That was big in like, the 1600s.) Some of those I wanted to get on the Xbox 360 Live Arcade (where that applied, of course) but when I realized how much cheaper they were on PC well, that kind of kicked off this whole PC Gaming thing, which reminded me of PC only games that I liked for years but could never play.
From what I know of what I want to play, Street Fighter looks to be the most graphically intense game. I don't know if I'll ever get Street Fighter V (so far it looks trash so, if I were to say today it would be no) but it would be nice to have the option someday.
It would be kind of important to me to be able to run things in max settings but again, I'm not going to be getting the latest greatest games, so the Sims 2 in max settings is probably not the same as something like The Witcher III in max settings.
As for a budget, well, I don't really know. I'll have some money coming to me over the next few months but I'm not sure how much of that I really want to invest in a PC. I know it's not worth even trying for less than 600 (in most cases) but going over 1000 is probably out of the question for now. I'm open to upgrading parts here and there in the future but again, dropping it all in one go is not an option. A sweet spot would be somewhere around 700-750 (give or take 50 bucks if it would really make a huge difference) but if I can go lower I'd be more than happy.
Anyway, thanks again for all the replies. I'll distribute my "Thanks" buttons tomorrow and respond more in depth where it was needed.
Also to Silver, I didn't mind your post at all. I thought it helpful.
