Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: 1-3 weeks from now
Budget Range: 1500 USD ideally, but could convince to 1800 USD after taxes.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Parts to Upgrade: Fresh Build
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, Windows,
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon; Newegg
Location: California, USA
Parts Preferences: Obviously Intel, given gaming preference and lack of need for Editing, and etc.
Overclocking: Most likely no.
SLI or Crossfire: no, (too complicated to deal with)
Your Monitor Resolution: 2560/1440
Additional Comments: I am going to building a rig for my friend. He wants to game @ 2k. 60hz is fine for refresh. He basically wants a rig that will game @ 2k with high/ultra settings for a few years. (I think this is achievable with a 1070 or 1080 given that he doesn't need over 60 FPS)
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: He is gaming on a stock Laptop from Walmart (that was bought 3 years ago). So really, anything is going to be amazing in comparison. Wants to play newest titles @ 2k with ease (Mass effect andromeda, Heroes of the storm, battlefield 1, Skyrim, the witcher 3, and etc.)
Summary:
Building a rig for my bud. Budget ideally is 1500 USD, but can convince to go to 1800 USD after taxes. He would like a 2k Resolution build. Over 60 Hz is not necessary. Monitor and OS are included in this build. Mouse and keyboard are not. I have proposed a few builds to him myself. I have built 5 rigs in the last 5 years for myself and family/friends. I am confident that I can build him a solid rig, however, I know you guys can offer greater insight/builds that I can come up with.I want additional input because this will be his first build, and I want to make sure I get him the best he can get for his money. If needed, I can throw up my PCpartpicker build I have put together on my own for him if you guys would like the baseline that I have showed him.
Thanks for reading. I am going to sleep right now. I'll check as soon as I wake up. Any and all feedback is appreciated. I have used this site before when I was first starting building rigs, and you guys are awesome. If any questions, let me know.
