Hello guys! I've alway stuck with Laptops and prebuilt PCs for gaming, I am going to keep my laptop for college but i want to build a PC for gaming, and streaming. I have a mouse, and keyboard, but i am missing a Display. I usually play high-end type games like Fallout 4, Battlefront(star wars ofc), mostly CS:GO.

I do care for looks, so I'm hoping the case you guys choose can maybe match my razer equipment.
I was looking on Cyberpowepc.com for a blackfriday deal which is when I'm going to buy my PC.


Approximate Purchase Date: This week, Black friday/Cyber Monday..

Budget Range: $1000-1250 after rebates i guess or before.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Streaming, Movies/Video Editing.

Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Whichever website has the best price tbh.

Country: USA BABY lol i'm messing but U.S.

Parts Preferences: I really don't know, just would like a nice display and nice case but obviously what's inside is what matters.

Overclocking: New to Overclocking but i suggest yes and i would like to learn the best settings for it.

SLI or Crossfire: Whichever

Monitor Resolution: probably 1080p but it all depends on how games would run.

Additional Comments: "Need to have a window and lots of bling" l0l.

Thank you all for the help, i am new to this site and from reading all the posts this site seems to be really friendly and helpful.

Just for reference, I'd rather go with G-Unit's build personally, if it were me. Finding fewer reasons to justify suggesting a dead socket build.

Regardless, I'd find a way to jump all over this deal on the XFX unit. Very nice value

Yeah that's one of those things that - a lot of people still hang onto Haswell because there's not a lot of performance increase going to Sky Lake. On the other hand if you don't take advantage of building with Sky Lake, you lose out on a lot of new tech. And while I hate the term "future proof", you can protect yourself from planned obsolescence ahead of time by going with the newest platform available at the time you actually do purchase your rig.
