Well, I've been wanting to build a pc for quite a while now, and just recently have the chance to do so. Consoles are near to launch and they'll most likely bring some changes to pc gaming, I also wanted to know if I should just buy the parts for the pc now or wait till the next iteration, will it really make a difference?
The build is expensive because I currently dont have any pc parts, not even a mouse or keyborad, so I'm buying everything. And one last question, how long will it last, i pretent to play at least on high for the first year or so, and then I've no problem with turning down some settings to keep it running. Monitor will be 1080p so I imagine I might end up gaming on lower resolutions in a few years.
I hope I've explained things enough. I live in Mexico so the only place to buy components is this page. http://www.digitalife.com.mx so all prices are converted from mexican pesos to USD, things here are sometimes a little bit expensive and bringing parts directly from USA is not an option.
