Hey guys,
I've been predominantly a console gamer for most of my life but now I'm thinking about building a proper gaming machine and join the "dark side" if you may haha . I have a few questions pertaining to that which I'm going to list below and hope that you guys can answer my queries.
1) In my research, I've come to the conclusion that I can go with an i5 6600K instead of an i7 processor. This would allow me to direct more funds towards the GPU.
2) I've zeroed in on the 980ti, however, I'm not sure if it's going to be overkill for the requirements. 4k monitors, from what I can gather are quite expensive and I might just have to wait a bit before I can buy one, instead resorting to a 1080p monitor for the moment. I was just thinking about this particular GPU for some degree of future proofing. (If anyone has suggestions otherwise please feel free to guide me properly)
3) lastly, and perhaps more importantly, there's a big differential between pc parts here in Pakistan and in the US. Now, my question is, do you guys source your parts from local vendors, and if so, can you direct me towards one who provides competitive rates in Lahore/Islamabad. Alternatively, if you guys get stuff imported from abroad can you please point me in the right direction.
Looking forward to hearing from you guys and I greatly appreciate any help rendered to me in this regard. Cheers boys
