I currently have a case, SSD+HD, 850w psu, and all peripherals.

I'll either be using my 3440x1440 samsung cf791, or a Dell s2716dgr (2k, gsync monitor)

Would maybe like a build for both ranges so I can be ready to go once I found out how my Christmas bonus turns out. I often use slickdeals to find best priced things. Also, I do live by a microcenter if that helps since they usually have some killer deals.

Budget: $1000-$2000
More specific use (what games, what programs): largely for gaming. Diablo 3, fortnite, guild wars 2. I might occasionally use it for compiling code or let me wife use it for her graphic design.
Planned time until purchase: by end of December
Do you need an Operating System?: No
Do you have any specific preferred components?: No
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: No
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: might overclock. But not doing any custom watercooling. Most I would do is AIO watercooling, so whatever that would allow for OC
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: NO
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 01721

your best bet is to just repost after winter sales begin with a firmer budget in mind. 1k-2k is pretty variable.

I was just figuring black friday/cyber Monday were going to be the time to buy. Didnt think there would be really much going on for winter sales. Alright I'll come back in a few weeks.

your post said you were planning to purchase at the end of december; was that incorrect?

kinguin or *** Other option is to scour for a free enterprise key. My roommate did that and it's been over a year no problems.
