Came here a few years ago for help building a pc, and it went great. Looking to do it again.

Buy date next week

Budget id rather spend 2k than 1.5k

System usage from most to least
1games 2internet/movies

Monitor asus vg248 1920x1080 144hz

I do need an os. Windows 10?

Preferred sites: amazon prime, newegg, fry's electronics in the city of industry

loc. los angeles, ca

Overclocking/sli open to both, but would only want 1 gpu right now

Additional: I want an i7cpu and a water cooler even i can install. Other than that i have no preference on maker. I like red and black color schemes. And simple sleek cases.

Im upgrading because i took a hammer to my old one 3/4 months ago. R.I.P.

Hmm, for some reason the Skylake i7s are all out of stock or over $600, so you get a "better" option of a 6-core i7 extreme cpu.
