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. Playing games such as Destiny 2, Overwatch, Assassins Creed, Wolfenstein II, BF1, PUBG, etc. I would also like to be able to use the PC to stream and record. I'd also be using Photoshop and Illustrator.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes? $1280 for the PC and an external HD

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 Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy. A week - 2

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc) The PC, and 'Western Digital - Elements 1TB External Hard Drive'

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? Oregon, United States, no I do not have access to a Microcenter.

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated. Not re using.

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU? No 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 would like a water cooling build, cheap SSD because I'll dump everything on an external HD

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 a case that has a window on the side, can use water cooling, and black/red.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference? Nope, already got it.
