Hey guys. My 5 year old pc has died and i am not going to revive her this time .

Only piece worth keeping might be the gfx but i cant remember the exact model. Was a R7 radeon i believe.

Anyways, budget is 1600$USD, will buy tonight so find me those deals if you can :) you have a wiggle room of a couple hundered, but if the difference between a 1400$ and 1800$ isnt huge, ill take the 1400. No peripherals needed, would like a cool looking tower and will be in a sometimes hot room. I play dota mostly, but would like it to handle most fps games and be able to stream and listen to music alll at once, etc. no interest in 4k if it pushes price too high.

Thanks ahead of time, will dn8 400fg to the pc i buy :)

Any color scheme preferences?

Amd or Intel?

If it's an r7 gpu, definitely time to toss it, considering your budget.

I like all white with maybe a blue or green or all black with a red or dark blue.

Never had anything but intel, i dont know enough to have my own opinion.

I believe it is r7. Only reason i have it still is the first r7 i had that died had lifetime warranty.

Thing that sucks about white builds is that basically every high end gpu is black

Do all stylish builds show gpu nowadays? Not much of a hangup if its all black with accent color. My wire management skills are craptier anyways xd

A better chance of winning the silicon lottery and getting 200-300 extra mhz out of the 1800x's higher binning would be more worthwhile to me than having 20% more gpu torque over a card that would already do everything i want with room to spare (the 1070)
