I'm looking to build or buy a new PC from gaming.
I am willing to spend $1000.
I want a good PC that will last as long as possible (continue to be a good gaming PC), but I do not want to pay premium prices. I also want it to be easy to upgrade in the future.
I do not have a lot of spare time to spend on research, however my need is not urgent. I want to buy/build the PC before june this year, but sooner is prefered.
What parts should I use or how could I establish a benchmark standard for evaluating a pre-built PC?
I plan to tri-boot the PC with windows XP, Vista, and Ubuntu. I can get all these operating systems myself for free.
The only part I have to recycle is my wireless keyboard. I also have a few junked laptops, but I imagine there isn't much that would be salvageable from them.
