[SOLVED] Gaming Rig Budget $1500

[alexisd9025]

Hello,

My current budget is 1400 - $1600. I would like this to be future proof, planning on eventually upgrading more down the line as time requires it. Planning to use it for mostly gaming, programming and some minimal streaming.

I would like to play some games in max setting (currently playing WoW, LoL, Apex, COD, Escape from Tarkov on a Laptop). Planning on getting a monitor 144hz, hopefully to play @1440 in certain games. Some suggestions for that would be welcome as well.

No preferance when it comes to Intel or AMD.

Would like a white/black theme, mostly white but not necessary.

Would like to add some watercooling.

Looking to buy this as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Leaves you room to add or remove. You could bump up to 32GB of RAM if you want, and if you stream or have lots of programs open while you play games it might be a good idea to. I didnt bother to add Windows 10 since you can buy OEM Windows Keys quite cheap
