$1000 Budget - I am absolutely clueless about computer parts!
Post Body

1. What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games (ex: resolution, FPS, settings) or programs you will be using.

  • Play Borderlands 3, League of Legends/Teamfight Tactics, Netflix, Amazon Video, Nintendo Switch titles, all at 1440p 144hz if possible.

2. What is your maximum PRE-TAX budget before rebates and shipping?

  • $1000.

3. When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

  • Before the end of September.

4. What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ex: tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

  • Just the build.

5. If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? How old are they? Brands and models are appreciated.

  • Steelseries keyboard, Corsair FPS mouse, HyperX headset, are all 4 years old but will still be reusing.

6. Will you be overclocking (ex: CPU/GPU/RAM)? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line?

  • I don't know anything about overclocking.

7. Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

  • SSD as main storage. HDD not necessary as I don't keep a lot of files.

8. Do you have any specific case preferences (ex: mITX/mATX/mid-tower/full-tower sizes, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

  • Would love a white tower mid size, but colour is def not necessary.

9. Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? Note: some post-secondary students can get Windows 10 for free.

  • No.

10. Will you be upgrading this PC in the future (ie: will you swap out better parts later on or will you build an entirely new tower later)? If so, when?

  • No.

11. Do you have a brand preference? (ex: AMD/Intel for CPUs, AMD/NVIDIA for video cards, etc)

  • NVIDIA for video cards, but not necessary.

12. Extra info or particulars:

  • None.
