Budget: $1,500
More specific use (what games, what programs): play Path of Exile alot, League of Legends, and maybe Diablo 3.
Planned time until purchase: Not sure, just want to get an idea what I am looking at for this price.
Do you need an Operating System?: Might need one. My uncle might be building the PC so don't know what OS CDs he has. Maybe can give me a build with and without OS included.
Do you have any specific preferred components?: SSD is a must with PoE.
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: No
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: Depends on what budget can get me. New to OC.
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: Monitor. Also need mouse and keyboard but will probably get that a bestbuy, outside of the budget.
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs):30501

I don't really need much storage. Was thinking just one 240+ GB SSD and a 1TB HD.

This is what I threw together based on a build I saw in another thread. has a 1440 monitor but debating it will be too much for me right now and get a 1080. Debating on graphics card, r9 390 or gtx 970.

Still thinking about about get a blue ray reader. Should I get case fans or are the ones that come with it enough?
