Looking for decent PC build / prefab PC

[Cptcoxicks]

Hello, Tom's community. I have a rather unconventional question. I like to consider my self as a hardcore gamer, and i have a knack in producing art in many mediums (and would like to perfect my drawing pad skills) and happen to have a busy college/work career. Thus said i would like to have a computer that reflects who i am and accomodate the activities i love to do. I have no experience on how to build a computer. Im just asking if anyone would be willing to share a build that meets the criteria without absolutely breaking the bank (im willing to invest time and money but i dont wish to spend then next half year building it) or if there is a recommendation for a manufactured pc (desktop or laptop)...or to just tell me that im asking for too much. I will apreciate any feedback. Thank you

What's your budget. What are you playing. Do you need a monitor also? 1080p? 1440p? 4K? 60 fps 144 fps?
What country?

I am an intel/nvidia fan. Other would probably recommend the Ryzen series instead. There are so many options to choose from when building a pc. That is why unless you can specify a certain budget it will be hard to give a precise parts list. So Here is my favorite build so far. All new parts ofcoarse.
An i5 6600k, minimum 8gb of ram (DDR4), a GTX 1070 for future proof. Any motherboard would do, but make sure it is a Z if you gonna overclock. A 600 watts psu for a better headroom. And any case should do. An SSD is a must, atleast a 250 for your windows and some games.
But to be honest I personally buy older used generations when building my pcs. For example last month i build a pc using a gtx 970 and a i7 3770k and saved a good amount of money. It all depends on your preference really. But just keep in mind that new doesn't always means the best for you when it comes to saving money. A i7 4790k can compete with newer cpus with ease. So it is really hard to give you the perfect build. You just gotta do your research and be happy with what you end with. But let me summarize with a few points you should keep in mind
1. if you are using a 1080p monitor. A used Gtx 970 is more than enough to give you those stable 60 fps at high/utra settings in demanding games. A newer Gpu for the 1080p would be a 1060/1070. The older the generation the cheaper it gets especially after being used. For 1440p however you should aim for a 980ti as an older generation and 1080/1080ti for a newer generation. The 980ti gives about 70 to 100 fps in battlefield everything on ultra. I will say it again make your research before buying.
2.A 4 core cpu is a must for good gaming performance and multitasking like drawing and browsing and such. an i5 lacks the the threads, while the i7 can improve multitasking due the more threads. The haswell cpus are still a good option for today and the future. go Skylake as a more future proof option.
3.8Gb as a minmum, many recommend 16gb these days.
4.Motherboards don't really do that big of a difference when it comes to performance. but they are important to look at at when overclocking. so make sure to take that into consideration before you buy.
5.An SSD is a must . use HHD for storing files.
6. A 600 watts PSU should be able to support many builds. I like the evga gold Psu series.

Lastly, All prebuilt pcs are overpriced af. I wouldn't consider buying any.
