So, decided 5 years old is too obsolete and want to build a new PC.

My old PC, and has windows 8, basically outdated and the ram/MoBo to old to even handle the new and improved DDR4.

Budget $1,100~ give or take.

Assuming to upgrade to Windows 10 on a new PC?

I like AMD processors, and looking for a all white or black case, blue lights and I don't care if I can see through the side panel or not. Just a good case when I can easily cable management.

I won't need a cpu cooler either, have one to replace the stock cooler. I don't plan on overclocking.

And I'm in the US.

<-- old PC, I liked it a lot, did work for 5 years, wanting an upgraded version of this if possible, but you guys are the experts not me :P

Also, I may want to add another monitor and a new gaming keyboard if any suggestions, and if my monitor isn't good enough for the new PC just add that in as well.

Do not need a mouse, love my razor naga.

Thank you!!

you can remove the monitor to bring it down to your 1k budget.

if you remove the monitor, id suggest upgrading to the 1600x cpu for the few dollars more.

also im not sure if you will do the mail in rebates or not.

Thnx, maybe drop the monitor off the budget, I may get this later, maybe upgrade to the 1600x and a 1070gpu?

Nevermind 1070 would just this up a ton lol.

How does this look? Added in more storage as well.

Also should I add more fans for the case? Willing to add those in if it will help cool and perform better.

Does the ram have to be overcooked? Wasn't trying to do that, but it can't be hard to do messing with the BIOs

I'll take care of the monitors and keyboard elsewhere. Just wanna build a solid PC for now. And I do have a brand new CPU cooler at home already got the CRYORIG H7 TOWER COOLER FOR AMD/Intel CPUs.

Thanks!!

Yes that cpu/ram is good or would it be better for a tad more to get the 1600x and ddr4-3200 memory?

I have the CRYORIG H7 cpu cooler if it works for the 1600x/the motherboard, if not that build looks like what I should get
