I've been wanting a gaming computer for a while now and i had the money to get one finally. I was originally asking a friend to build me one, but he was gonna charge me money for the service and i didn't have that money at the time. So I found this website which had a really good deal going a computer for about 1900 going for 1300 and then i changed some parts around to make it better. If anything should be changed let me know. Also I don't have the time right now to build it my self I am going to school and work all the time so the little time i do have Ive been doing homework but I do put a few hours into gaming but I wanted a built computer for it. Also I don't need a monitor i have a Asus monitor that supports 1080p and i have a mouse and keyboard.

So heres the one i built!

Thanks! I found it the website and saw they had these deals going and the gpu and processor were good, and it seemed like a good deal for it so then i decided to upgrade some of the parts
This is a good build, although you would save more money if you custom built it rather than a company but it is still a good build and will last you a long time without becoming obsolete, have fun on your new PC!

Hope I helped :)
 
If I had more time, I would deffiently have given it a shot. But in the future I am deffiently going to build a computer to try out! And thanks! I do know alittle about computer I did a little research on the parts and try and picked the best rated ones for a good price with combos and deals on it.
 
Actually with companies like iBuypower, it is very often slightly cheaper than building it yourself because they buy their parts in bulk and get them cheaper than we do. I didn't try to part out your system to see, but it is very often cheaper with iBuypower. The system looks good btw 🙂 You'll have fun with it!! :-D
 


Yeah it can do but that sometimes depends on promos and deals in some cases it's cheaper to custom build your self.
