I want someone to build me a a gaming PC that after it's been built can be plugged into a monitor and used immediately (after OS is installed of course). I plan to overclock the CPU and GPU so good cooling and air circulation is a must. Please use PCPartPicker.com and include the link of the build in your answers.
