Hi, I am looking to get a new gaming PC to play games like CSGO, COD, h1z1, ark, etc... Want to be able to run games at high fps and just have great overall performance. Also I want to do 144hz gaming bc my monitor supports it. So I have been saving and now I have 1600$ to drop on a beast system. I have been looking at the digital storm vanquish 3 level 4 but I'm not sure it's my best option. What do you guys think is the best thing I can get prebuilt for 1600$? Thx!! (And please don't suggest building myself bc it's not an option for me.)
 
Probably off topic but why is building one yourself not an option?

Honestly man its really easy and on top of that 1600$ will go a TON furthur on a system you have built yourself versus a prebuilt machine

This might be an extremely overkill system for your Game choice needs but this is just an example

You cant get much better than that (definitely doubt your going to find similar/better than this in a prebuilt)
 


hey what is the difference between an nvidia Gtx 980 or msi or any other brand?
 
I configured you a desktop via CyberPowerPC. :)

Custom and building your own is always better than off-the-shelf.

I got a desktop from CyberPowerPC a few months ago, since I didn't have the time building. :)

The desktop comes with a free gaming mouse and keyboard. You can get a monitor, if you need one, cheaper elsewhere such as Amazon and Newegg. The configuration should allow you to run any game flawlessly. :)
 


I do not see CyberPowerPC as over-priced. They're not like the others.

CyberPowerPC's sister site, iBuyPower, on the other hand, is slighty over-priced.

You do get a good PC; around the same as building your own, but not as much. Building your own is always better, but if you don't know how to build or have the time, custom is always second best - depending where you get the desktop at that is. :)

I have received a desktop from them a few months ago and I love it. Runs any game I throw at it.
 


I am not that good with currency... XD

I, however, do know my parts and all that.

A GTX 970 would allow the OP to run any game he throws at it on high settings.
 
i dont want to build because 1. i have watched many videos on how to and i know for a fact i would mess up or break the parts i spent a fortune on and wouldnt put it together correctly. 2. i dont have the time
