700$ is really where i wanna be at

path of exile is the game we are trying to play... it is impossible to play it with my current POS walmart hp laptop.

i do not need a monitor... i plan on using my flat screen 1080p.

i have a very basic understanding of the components necessary for a gaming pc...

this thing will be running pretty much 24/7 lol .... while im at work my fiance will be playing on it.

ive got decent internet ... turbo upgrade etc. i wont be using wireless...

i thought it would be a good idea to post this here before i go and buy something i will regret. (ive read that alienware sucks ass) i know theres many people out there that know a great deal more than i about these machines. help a brother out

e/

Budget: 700ish
More specific use (what games, what programs): PoE
Planned time until purchase: not in a hurry
Do you need an Operating System?: do i? this will have one use = GAMES
Do you have any specific preferred components?: no clue
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: i'll be using a wired connection... sound card? do i? normally i hook my surround sound up to my tv ... hdmi from tv to laptop / playstation
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: overclocking sounds like a bad idea lol ... i know its important for the system not to over heat... it'll be seeing a lot of use
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: i have all 3
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 13165

thanks in advance!

Yes you need an OS lol

$100 more would make all the difference in the world if it's something u can swing.

Or 36$

are you planning on building one ?

Z170 with kaby lake? Meeh mostly like gotta flash bios.

If it's only for PoE there is no reason going over budget.

- would you be fine with build one yourself or does it have to be pre assembled?

Fk

i can put it together ... just need all the parts to fit correctly. Installing the OS isnt something ive done before but it cant be that hard.

Have they not been around long enough? I would think they'd have the updated revision by now
