1k Budget Gaming/Editing/Recording PC

[JordanVSGamingYT]

Approximate Purchase Date: Sorry this may be a bit long but Christmas

Budget Range: 1k Before Rebates. Shipping can go over 1k

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Recording and Editing Primarily. Playing and recording games like Minecraft, DayZ, The Forest, Rust and some other high end games.

Are you buying a monitor: Yes

Do you need to buy OS: Yes Preferably Windows 8

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Dont really have one

Location: New Jersey, United States

Parts Preferences: AMD CPU Probably

Overclocking: Probably

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe

Your Monitor Resolution: Either 1366x768 or 1920x1080

Additional Comments: I'd prefer for it to be able to run the games I listed well especially Minecraft for if it can't run that well its worse than the craptop I'm writing this on. I prefer for most of it to be online not in store pickup. I'm fine with lower settings for some of the high end games. I need a keyboard and mouse also. I'd prefer to be able to have an internet browser and skype/teamspeak open while playing.

The RAM was a fantastic deal and had a 5 start rating. I recommend you spend a bit more money about $20 on an ATX case than what I have above.

I went over. But I think it is a good build. And if you choose this build and need to drop the price a little bit, I would downgrade the case a little bit.
