I'm looking to build a computer that is going to last me for the next couple of years. If I'm going to put the money out there, I thought I would just do it right and not take any shortcuts. I'm hoping to spend between 1000-1200 dollars, but would be content if my budget didn't exceed 1500. If there's a reason to go that high, then so be it. I don't play many high end games that demand a lot of graphics power, but if i decide to in the future I would like to have that option to possibly explore 4k, but mainly just maxed out 1080p games.

Budget 1000-1200, can go up to 1500.

Requirements: Gaming needs, 1080 maxed out, good looking PC preferable RGB themed.

Thank you in advance
