My Dell Studio 8000 XPS is dying and I'm gonna need a new rig. I bought it about a year before Skyrim came out, put a bigger PSU and GTX550ti in it for Skyrim and now I'm getting a large variety of blue screens. I know we have some pretty savvy desktop guys. I'd like to get a new pc for around $1200 US that will be good for gaming. I only play crpgs, so Witcher 3 might be the only thing coming out soon that may be graphically intensive. Looking at Win 8 makes me want Win7 real bad. I'm not sure if there's a huge difference between i5/i7 and I'm an Nvidia guy since forever. Should I get the OS on a SSD and keep games on IDE? These are the things I'm not sure about. As some here know, I play Skyrim and Oblivion with tons of mods, so something that maxes out Skyrim's graphics would be perfect probably.
I prefer an off the rack machine because I'm extensively lazy when it comes to personal IT stuff. I do IT for a living and hate to mess with it at home. I have the tech savvy to build one if it'll save me hundreds.
