Hello everyone, today i come to you for some help with deciding what parts to buy for a computer that i want to be doing a lot of things with. A computer that can run most if not all triple A games at 1440p at 60 fps and i can be safe with for at least a year or two of not upgrading, can stream well/handle multiple programs while streaming and can handle some 3D modeling/game design/rendering. I did have a few things in mind but honestly its been too long since i built my first PC and i just don't have the time to look for whats good at the moment. Thanks for any ones help in advance.

Note:I can increase the budget a small amount if what i'm asking for is a bit too much for the price i'm willing to pay.

You will need two fittings, some clear tubing and additional coolant to connect the Seahawk to the Swiftech cooler

you don't need help. if anything, you can just go to alienware.com and configure something within your budget, take notes, then actually pick individual parts from amazon/newegg or whatever, accumulate how much money you saved, then LOL IRL.

note: i understand if you don't have time to look for what's good at the moment, but just google something recent like "top gaming pc 2016" and they'll show you different options you can invest in with your money.

i.e.
http://www.techradar.com/us/news/computing/pc/10-of-the-best-gaming-pcs-you-can-buy-in-2015-1304263

Then customize stuff from there.

p.s. you said you don't have time to look for what's good... and you're interested in playing games. if you have time for games, you have time to look LMAO! building a pc is definitely time-consuming but one of the most satisfying moments in life. You should savor it because gaming rigs are a luxury / privilege. Too many people work their butts off and never have time to relax / game because they have to work everyday. Consider yourself blessed.
