[Around $1,500 USD] Help me with a PC Build - SyCorporate - Nov 8, 2017
It needs to have i7 ('K' so I can overclock later), and GTX 1080(or titan if possible) at least. I am willing to squeeze a couple hundred if I must but I need those in my build.
Quote:What will you be doing with this PC?
This will mainly be a hardcore gaming computer, I plan to add VR to it in the future, I will do light business/editing tasks on the side with photoshop for example.
Quote:What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
Around $1,500 USD
Quote:When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.
I'm buying the parts THIS BLACK FRIDAY/Cyber Monday, I'll keep an eye out for deals, but I need a baseline of the prices and parts I want.
Quote:What, exactly, do you need included in the budget?
>>Intel i7 and GTX 1080 (or even 1080 ti)<< All the PC Parts and Windows 10 OS, any extra money will be for some nice RGB Lighting. Tower must have a nice tempered glass side and audio jacks/usb ports in the front, also access to a cd/dvd slot would be nice since I want to add that in the future.
Quote:Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?
USA, NY, Yes I got access to Microcenter and I work at Best Buy
Quote:If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
I'm reusing normal old keyboard/mouse I got with my old computer (lenovo, logitech)
Quote:Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
I will like to overclock down the line.
Quote:Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)
SSD is obviously needed, Overclocking capabilities, if there is anything else you'd like to add please feel free.
Quote:Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?
Red/Black, I am completely in love with MSI color scheme and dragon logo, it looks so good.
I need a decent size window on the side, I want to add RGB but I doubt my budget can afford it, so I'll add it down the line if possible (is it possible?).
I'd like my color options to be flexible though, like I see some builds have RGB that changes between multiple colors, that looks nice too, I'd like my options to be open if I wanted to ever change in the future.
Quote:Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?
Windows 10 will be needed, this will be my first PC Build and I am currently using a 7+ year old computer with Windows 7.
It needs to have i7 ('K' so I can overclock later), and GTX 1080 at least. I am willing to squeeze a couple hundred if I must but I need those in my build.
f you have to break the budget just show me how much it would cost, I'll see what I can do.
If you can, will you please show me 2 builds with Ryzen 7 and with an Intel.
I rather not buy a Ryzen just because:
1. Some games still aren't optimized for it
2. I don't want to have an AMD Motherboard and then in the future when I wanna upgrade intel becames a better option again and then I'll have the urge to go back to intel...

Thanks for the reply, you're right, maybe now isn't the best time to get the 8700K, everyone says go Ryzen but I am still nervous about doing it, I've always used Intel and I am just hoping Ryzen wont let me down...
I made a build but it breaks my budget big time, I am trying to find deals online to lower it, but its difficult...
