Looking for my first ever new PC, have always bought used but finally want to enjoy a rig that isn't a dated POS. Plan on purchasing before the end of september, willing to wait a bit longer if there's a large discount incoming. Wanted to post now to get a better understanding of what I'd be looking at.
Budget: $1500-2000 CAD
More specific use (what games, what programs): Starcraft 2 is currently the highest requirement game, however I haven't explored many other games due to always having a shit PC that can't handle most games (currently play Sc2 on lowest possible settings and still lag, want to be able to play on max with ease). Also watch streams/videos while gaming.
Planned time until purchase: ~30 days
Do you need an Operating System?: Yes
Do you have any specific preferred components?: Would like to be able to have at least 2 monitors
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: Sound Card I guess? Will use wired connection
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: Stock (unless there's serious advantage to overclocking)
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: Yes, looking for 2 monitors but this budget can include only 1 for now (can purchase additional monitor/keyboard/mouse separately down the road)
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): M5V3R5
As you can see somewhat noob to this, advice is greatly appreciated.
