Hey guys. I built my own PC 8 1/2 years ago and it has finally died on me. CPU is done for and the GPU + RAM were not far off. The tower is basically obliterated as well lol. I am looking for something new quick, and for a reasonable price. Obviously, this is for gaming and gaming only. However, these next few months I will be tight on money due to moving out next month and a hefty car repair. Can anyone build a sweet PC that can at least run CSGO quickly and beautifully? I am going to tip 200 FG to whoever can come up with a sweet build. I have Win7 Ultimate, dual monitors, and mouse/keyboard already, only need the guts.



Requirements
Price: 1000$ Maximum, but anywhere around 700-1000 is acceptable.
HD - Want an SSD.
GPU - ???
MOBO - ???
CPU - ???
Case - Prefer Corsair medium if possible
RAM -Minimum 8GB Prefer Corsair if possible
Cooler - ???
Power Supply - I have a 1000W one that is 7 years old, will this be good to take from my previous PC? If not, I will need one.

Two things. 1) 7-year old anything in the PC age is pushing it. 2) 1000W PSU for a build under 1k is way overkill. Even in most $2k builds it's overkill.

I prefer full towers over mid towers, but that's just me.

what brand/model is the psu? if it's quality, ofc you can still use it.

for the case, you decide which corsair case you like best.
200r, 300r, spec red, 450d etc.

if your psu is trash, lmk i can adjust to make it under 1k

That gives u a core i5 660k with ddr4 ram and gtx 970 video card.
Comes with SSD and all.

U can probably substitute a little here and there to save a few $.
