Post Body

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

General web browsing, remote office work, streaming shows/movies, and gaming. I'm looking to play Starfield, Resident Evil 4, Call of Duty, The Last of Us, Cyberpunk 2077, Marvels Spider-Man 1 & 2, League of Legends.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

$2800

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 Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

Ideally by end of September 2023 but I'm not in a rush.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

Just the PC.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

US - Yes

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

Monitor 1 - Asus TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B | Monitor 2 - Dell S2716DG | Headphones - Audeze Maxwell | Keyboard - GamaKay LK67 65% (White) | Mouse - Logitech G 305 Lightspeed (White) | Speakers - Kanto YU2 (White)

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

I'm not sure, but probably not.

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)

I'd prefer this PC to be quiet and have no RGB at all, but it's no big deal if a part has a little bit of lighting. In terms of storage, I suppose a 1TB SSD for OS and several TB hard drive for games and such.

What type of network connectivity do you need? (Wired and/or WiFi) If WiFi is needed and you would like to find the fastest match for your wireless router, please list any specifics.

WiFi - Will be using a Verizon router (Model: CR1000A)

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

I want the Fractal Design North ATX mATX Mid Tower PC Case (Mesh Side Panel) in either color (black/white). I'm going for a minimal aesthetic on my desk (light bamboo color). My mouse, keyboard, and speakers are white. I leave it up to you if you think I should get the white case to match with everything or black to change it up. Appearance of the interior components do not matter to me since they'll be hidden behind the mesh panel.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

No.

Extra info or particulars:

I'd like to play games on at least medium/high settings at 1440p with 60fps. I also want to say that I'm grateful for you taking the time to read this and help. Thank you in advance!
