Building new PC

[evanater91]

My PC has crashed during gaming, it won't launch windows now, I can get to the BIOS menu, I was able to do a restore point, but it still won't launch. I'm sure it could be fixed, perhaps a software issue or one component like my GPU, but I'm ready for a new PC. $800 budget (I have a monitor/speaker/keyboard and mouse) and I'm willing to go closer to $1,000 if there's a good reason. I would like to build a new gaming PC from the ground up. My current one is over 3 years old, so I'd like to just start fresh. I do have a 250GB SSD with windows 10 on it and a 1 TB HDD that I would like to keep, unless it would be smarter to upgrade and transfer data. This will be the second PC I've built, but that was 3 years ago and I followed a YouTube video (so I'm no expert)

My previous build included:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASRock H97M Anniversary Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
GPU: XFX Double D Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition DirectX 11 FX-787A-CDFC 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0
PSU: Rosewill RG630-S12 - Green Series 630-Watt Active PFC Power Supply Unit
Memory: Patriot Viper 3 Low Profile Blue 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Crucial MX100 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Case: Cougar MG100 MicroATX Mini Tower Case
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit) (upgraded to 10 when it was free)
Monitor: Avera 40AER10N 40-Inch 1080p 60Hz LED-LCD HDTV
Surge protection: APC Back-UPS 550 VA surge protection and battery backup

You did not list what monitor (resolution and refresh rate) you have or whether you plan to play at 144 hz or 2K in the future? Your current i5 is still quite strong.

I updated the OP with my monitor. For the future... I might upgrade to a 4k but I'm pretty happy with 2k at the moment. Also I added my battery backup device.

I also updated with the reason behind this venture lol
