Im not much of a computer pro just yet, and i want a gaming rig that can do it all, mainly to run star citizen smoothly. I don't know what to pick. i never done this kind of thing before, (as i always just bought what best buy said was a gaming pc) and would like some guidance. When 3.0 came out my current computer became obsolete, not being able to run crusader at all. I was able to get out of the bed and walk around down to ship spawn console. at around 1 frame every 2 or 3 seconds. so i want to get a custom gaming pc that i wouldn't have to replace for minimum of 5 years. i have narrowed it down to 2 different rigs. But i am open to more options as well. i would prefer to stay around the $2500 range but i can go a little over 3000 if necessary. 32 gb of ram is minimal for me and i prefer 64 for longevity reasons. But most say that 32 is more than enough. so here is what i have narrowed it down to... my preferred choice... https://www.digitalstorm.com/configurator.asp?id=1825459 my other choice https://www.xidax.com/desktops/x-5/?saveconfig=201820 I want the Digital Storm selection because it is a little more compact and in my opinion better looking than the rest. but will i be okay for gaming with its internals? I might seem all over the place but again i never done this before. any help and suggestions is greatly appreciated.
