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.

  • Would like to be able to play BF1, GTAV, H1Z1 on good to great settings. I do some light photoshop, premiere editing. I use dream weaver as well but that isn't an intensive program.

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

  • Looking at $1000 right now

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 Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

  • Whenever I find a build I like (this weekend)

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

  • everything but would like to see builds focused more on the tower and recommendations on monitor(the monitor can extend past budget if it will result in better tower future proofing)

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?

  • Kansas with easy microcenter access.

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

  • No parts reused. Been in laptop world for quite awhile.

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

  • Maybe in the future

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 for boot and 1-2 tb hdd should be more than enough.

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?

  • a red/black theme would be nice but would rather not sacrifice performance for looks. Also would be preferable to not have this visible from space with LEDs

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

  • I would like Win 7 (if possible, currently on my laptop so I know everything I use works) but win 10 if necessary.

Extra info or particulars:

  • you guys/gals are awesome for doing this!
