It is going to be Black Friday so I was looking into building my own PC since there will be some good deals going on.
What I am looking for:
-pc that can play csgo, LoL, WoW very well
-can be used for editing(minimal editing)
-used for trading(shouldn't be an issue)
Also, would want to have a pc that can have a tron look meaning the lighting and white case. If I need to pay more I will consider it.
I do need Microsoft but I will get that separately and same thing with a monitor. Thank you for helping :) Looking to build a unique one
 
Black Friday deals have been going on all week. Better get them while you can. This case can change colors, it is RGB not just green.

*Update: I just saw you said white case. I'll have to change that.

I would buy a monitor separately but not sure what kind of monitor I would like yet...unless you have preferences. Definitely would like it to be the bang for its buck. Roughly 300ish. And Not sure what RGB is. I am still noonish to this. And overclocking I am not sure might consider it if its preferred.

I am sorry to keep asking since I really want to build this but are there any components I can change to make RBG? Any that you would recommend?
 


No, none of that has RGB. The NZXT Kraken X42, X52, X62 is a really good looking RGB liquid cooler that I think you would like if you want RGB. The NZXT RGB fans are also nice. The fans are out of stock right now though, but you can look around at other retailers for them and the cooler. These would add some nice RGB to the build.

I went a little over budget, but this build is amazing:

This build with RTX2080 will perform around 35% better than RTX2070 build. Definitely not RGB but is classic looking build. All high quality components.

Thank you so much! I bought all the components and can't wait to build it. This will be my first PC to ever build. Haven't had a pc in over 3 years now. Just have to buy the monitor and Microsoft and i will be good(you said it was 25$ but isn't it usually like 100?)
 
You can definitely get Windows for less than a 100. I work for a company that is a Microsoft certified partner so I don't have to pay for it and therefore i'm not the guy that can provide that information. However, just make sure you mount the radiator in the front in a "push" configuration and keep the front grill clean from dust. Take the stock fans that come with it and mount one on the top so it's exhausting air out the top of the case.
