Hello, I am working on my second gaming pc build, and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what I have selected. Here is what I have picked out so far. The budget is around $1,700, but I have gone a little over for a couple of things.
Approximate Purchase Date: This week, I can wait a little longer if it would be beneficial.
Budget Range: $1,600-1,800 After Rebates/Shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, watching Netflix, homework, internet surfing.
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, included a copy of Windows 10 in the build.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: 1. amazon.com, 2. newegg.com
Location: Ohio, US
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU, Nvidia GPU
Overclocking: Yes, at least down the line
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, not until later though.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080, but I plan to upgrade my monitor later to 1920x1200 or better.
Additional Comments: I chose the liquid cooling for CPU and GPU. I am not stuck on this but I would prefer to have it unless someone believes that this is complete waste of money. I mainly plan on playing Overwatch, but games like Skyrim and Starcraft II will also be played.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I made some extra cash, decided to treat myself.
