•Budget: Around 1000 is fine
•More specific use (what games, what programs): I don't play any hard to run games. Mainly Runescape, CS:go
•Planned time until purchase: Soon
•Do you need an Operating System?: Yes
•Do you have any specific preferred components?: Ideally more than a stock cooler, even though it probably isn't needed. Maybe that master hyper 212
•Do you need a sound or wireless card?: wireless yes, sound no
•Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on over clocking?: see above post
•Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: I will worry about these on my own
•Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 56362 (Minnesota)

Ty baes

e; Must be from ncixus, as I will be paying them to assemble because I'm a computer dummy.

Unless there are other sites that offer this same thing.

e2; also open to suggestions for monitors.

Thanks.
Do you think dual gfx cards is a better option?

no. requires more power, more space, doesn't always scale properly.
Only useful when comboing really powerful cards to reach performance that single cards dont reach.

So you'd agree with the above setup?
I can get it all from ncix for a very similar price.

you play runescape and csgo which doesn't require a powerful GPU.
so i invested on other parts, and you can simply upgrade the GPU in the future if you do decide to play GPU demanding games without needing to upgrade anything else.

dunno why NCIX took out the i5, but yeah everything is from NCIX

Says they are sold out of the i5.

Alternatives to that?
Any negatives to jumping to i7?

Well you guys figured it out before I could post it but no overclockable i5s.

The build is fine, any changes would be quite nitpicky, I think.

If there is no I5 i would personally jump down to an 8320/8350 or even a 6300 if you wanted to save more money.

No negative in jumping to the i7, aside from the much higher cost, in which you would not really see a benefit for.

edit: heres an example of something I would consider, albeit much under budget. Idk how much you are spending for windows.

and while You can fill the budget with more graphics, you really don't require it for what you're doing. So since it's totally aribtrary, It's up to you whether you want to spend more money on graphics, an SSD or a nicer case.

that sucks, it was in stock when i linked it
You could wait for them to restock it, but the only downside of going i7 is that you're spending about $100 more for only 1-2fps gain in gaming.
It's worth it, if you plan to stream your gameplay, or render/edit a lot of videos using programs like sony vegas and such.
Though, $100 is nothing to some people, so might as well yolo.

Or like Rapture said, you could go with the 8320, and get a much stronger GPU like 290/970. The only thing is that, it's just wayy overkill for the games you play so your 1k budget isn't being optimized to the fullest

I have no issue going above or below my budget, obviously.

What are your guys thoughts on monitors?

e; As stated prior, I do want the ability to run cs;go and runescape simultaneously, so what would help that?
