Starter 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 primarily streaming, playing Minecraft, and doing homework/watching videos. I'd like to be able to run Minecraft smoothly with shaders as well as GTA 5. I would like to be able to dabble in video editing, but it'd be short videos and nothing too hefty.

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

  • $800-$1,000

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 Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

  • Either in the next 2 weeks or everything but the GPU. I'm not concerned about parts going out of date as long as the GPU when I eventually get it is compatible.

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

  • I need a tower and monitor. Ideally, I'd like dual monitors, but the side monitor can be cheap as heck.

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?

  • United States; Texas. If needed, I can get to a Microcenter 3 hours away.

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

  • I'm running a E-yooso mechanical keyboard and a onn. travel mouse

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

  • No, I am 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)

  • Not really, I can always get an external hard 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?

  • I would prefer no LED if possible. Otherwise, I don't care.

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

  • I do not!

Extra info or particulars:

  • I'm pretty flexible and open to suggestions. Honestly, I was looking at prebuilts as well due to the GPU shortage and I'm not opposed to them. Thank you so much for your time!
