Budget: $1100
More specific use (what games, what programs): Want it to run any game for at least the next 5-7 years.
Planned time until purchase: Now!
Do you need an Operating System?: Yes (can students still get cheap OS at schools?)
Do you have any specific preferred components?: intel is a must
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: no
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: won’t be overclocking, but I’ll probably use a larger air cooler.
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: no, no, and no.
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 33579

I do not want to spend a lot on a case. A decent $40-$60 case works for me. My previous computer is in a Rosewell case. Not using anything from current/dead pc in new one.

Stop being rude towards other users asking for help with their new build. The tone is atrocious

I built a pc in 2011 and the HD died about 2 hours ago.. I’m still able to play all games out currently (albeit on low-med settings). I5 2500k and a 6970. Spent $1071 on that pc... looking to do the same now..

Or do I just say fuck it and go buy this...

I saw that. But if you want Intel, and to be able to play any game, and to last for a while...

You can always switch to a GTX 1070. That will help bring the price down.

Even a 1060 will work for years. I’m not trying to max games in 3+years. Just looking for quality parts at good prices right now.

Ghot don't know how to a keep a budget :D

The new Nvidia cards should be announced in 6 days. Should be a pretty significant leap in performance.
Maybe you can live with a HD620 for a bit?
