Gaming PC For 18 Year Old Brother! - $900 Budget
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.

*I'd like to build a PC for my brother's 18th birthday. Looking for something that he'll be able to play games on as well as use for college - he plays CS:GO, Smite, WoW, League, etc.

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

  • $900

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 Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

  • Hopefully within the next week or two, his birthday is this weekend!

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

  • He already owns a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. He will need a Tower & Windows 10.

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?

*USA - NJ to be specific - No Microcenter

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

  • ACER 24" HDMI Monitor, Razer Naga, Razer BlackWidow

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

  • He'll be fine without overclocking

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 like a smaller SSD hard drive for the OS, and a larger drive for storage.

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?

  • Something clean looking, preferably with a window and LED lighting.

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

  • I will need a copy of Windows 10
