Hi everyone

I need to build a device to play starcraft 2 and heroes of the storm on lol. That is the main purpose. I had considered saving to increase my budget ceiling to 1400 in order to be able to ultra overwatch and things of that nature.

I have built one computer in the past a few years ago and made lots of nub mistakes. Too much paste, fighting Asus ez bios, psu with cables everywhere. Nonmodular? I believe... Anyways

Im excited to purchase a new 24" monitor. I have always been a fan of Nvidia and Intel personally. Umm I like the SSD for os with 2tbb hdd option for storage. I may have a windows 7 64bit pro key somewhere here.

I almost started ordering components separately to just at least have it arrive piece by piece. Glad I came and spent a few hours learning. Basically I don't know much other than liquid cooling is foolish in Arizona.

I have been looking at the 1000 dollar build now

for a few months now. I really want to try to get the 144hz monitor to game with. Looks like it would be great

Not sure if I would have to skimp to just get a rig to be able to play starcraft 2 and heroes of the storm solid on medium settings.

I got thrown out of the library and cause the IT department got involved because I have been going there to play for a few months hahaha

Tldr; I really need a pc to save my life. Should I save more close to 1500 2000ish in a while like Thanksgiving black Friday cyber monday for a beast rig (never gonna vr or overclock) or just get a 600 or 700 dollar one from the local store tomorrow so I can survive the next few months?

Thank you for your time
-David

That is not even a good build anymore the video card is 100 bucks more now and for the money the new AMD processors would be better. That case is very poor and only comes with a single fan 92mm in the back. A 144 monitor is OK if your playing a lot of twitch shooter games but other than that I would rather go for a 2K resolution.
Most of the new hardware needs windows 10.
