If you guys can build it all on one sight that would be awesome, or maybe build it on a sight that might assemble it for me. I've built one but this is for a friend that might not want to build it on his own and ik there are websites that will do it for like $50

Also Give me some options for cases, he said he doesnt plan on moving it so a large case with nice cable managment to make it easy for him cant hurt, it will be his first pc build.

Let me see what you guys can do, fg for the build i like the best.

whats the gaming to work ratio
like a ton of graphic n photo editing
or just some n mostly gaming

more gaming than heavy editing and stuff, and even the editing and stuff im guessing isnt going to be a daily thing so a long-ish render on a video or something isnt going to kill

all brack

stop givin builds n find a job

photo n video editing u want ips screen
gaming you want tn

anyone else have opinions for builds? I really dont think he will want a ssd or extra cpu cooler because this will be his first build and hes not the brightest bulb, but more than capable.

Ssd is the best thing you can do for your computer

it's not an extra cpu cooler, you replace it with the stock.
why doesn't he need ssd? if he dun want it, take it out of build, invest in better monitor.
tho the build is outdated now, bump in 2 days before he actually plans to purchase.
