Topic.

Budget:
Maximum you will spend? Under $2000, prefer closer to $1400 (usd)
Will you complete mail in rebates? - I will probably forget
If so, may we go over-budget if rebates bring you within budget? - Sure
Do you need Windows Operation System within budget? - No
Need a Monitor? / Mouse? / Keyboard within budget? - No

Basic Info:
Specific Uses (Programs, game titles etc.) - Generic gaming/streaming
Country? - USA
Will you travel to NCIX (canada) or Microcenter (USA) for parts? (Null if unsure) - microcenter may be an option

How much hard drive space do you want or need? - 1 tb SSD
Will you use wireless or wired internet? - Wired
Will you overclock CPU and/or GPU? - No
Any special requests or useful things to tell us? (Specific case, need lots of storage, audio etc.) - I have used fractal refine series in the past so will probably go with that again. Would like to run run 2x 144 hz monitors that I already have; not sure how that will impact the GPU selection. Current setup turns into a potato when I try 2x monitors so there's that. Also ripjaws RAM died on me twice so any other brand preferred.

TIA!

Someone will fix, didn't really try tbh

You could spend an extra $100-150 and get the unlocked cpu/mobo and better cpu cooler, and the overclock headroom would increase cpu performance very noticeably. Overclocking is much safer and easier than it was even 5 years ago, and is essentially free performance.

Thanks. Any experience with liquid cooler over air cooling? Haven't looked into liquid cooling in the past because of maintenance, but this looks closed loop.



Thanks. Shows some compatibility notes I have no idea what they mean. Also ripjaws seems to die on me over I will try my luck with a different ram. Any cooler suggestion?

Just says that when you have that SSD installed, it will disable 2 of the sata ports (there are usually 6+), nothing that will matter for your build.
