What computer should I buy?

[Zach Namzoff]

Hey guys! I'm thinking about purchasing a new computer. What I'm REALLY looking for over everything else is something that will last me a long time. I also want something that can run games like GTA V on fine graphics.

Open to building or buying a computer, open to laptops or desktops, but I'd like to stay under $1000.

Try this. 390 is a great GPU and you can OC the 4690k with the H97 performance and Noctua cooler.

Just look up How to build a PC Austin Evans on youtube. Make sure you do not build it on the carpet. Also touch a plugged in PSU thats not turned on to ground static.

Thanks. What should I build it on instead of a carpet?
