Build me a personal gaming pc
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 will be playing games exclusively on steam. I like unturned, the forest, day Z, ferraris, I also want to get back into gta IV

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

  • I'm not looking to spend over two thousand dollars.

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 Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

  • Planned on building it around my birthday as a gift to myself. So around September 24th.

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

  • Every component needed to build the pc. A good tower that can run games smoothly without lag. Whatever operating system works best/ is recommended for gaming. Only looking tk run one monitor, 4k would be nice but not required. So 1080p/4k. Keyboard and mouse do not have to be anything fancy, I will probably use a controller mostly.

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?

  • I live in the US, so it doesn't really matter where the parts come from. International or domestic is fine, so long as they are good quality and will last.

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

  • I will not be reusing any parts, all parts will be new.

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

  • I know very little about computers, so I really dont Intend to be overrclocking. If someone could give me a run down (how to do it, pros/cons) That would be great.

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)

  • Not really, a good amount of storage would be nice. Just so the games run smoothly without gameplay or graphical issues.

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?

  • Color for any parts dont matter, can even be mismatched. My rig will sit in my room so size isn't a huge deal either.

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

  • If its recommended sure I will buy a copy. Version doesn't matter, whichever is best and only if it will run my games better

Extra info or particulars:

  • I'm looking to have this rig last atleast 5-10 years. I will be receiving the parts but someone more adept will actually put it together.
