First time poster and first time builder looking to run some parts by the experts. Here is the lowdown:
Approximate purchase date Feb. 2017
Budget Range: around $1500 (system only) I have monitor, keyboard and mouse.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, potential for VR in the future
Are you buying a monitor: no
Do you need to buy OS: yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I like Newegg, but whatever is reputable and cheapest.
Location: City, State/Region, Country - Charlotte, NC (don't know of any local shops, but amazon delivers some stuff same day!)
Parts Preferences: intel CPU, nvidia GPU
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: currently 1080, but may upgrade to 4K
Additional Comments: I will try and post what I came up with so far. I have a bunch of HDD's that I can put in for mass storage, but I was hoping to boot from the m.2 ssd if possible.
