****PC Build Request Form****
Budget & Currency: 1800-2200
Peripherals & Monitor: only the monitor needs to be included into the budget. I will find my own keyboard to get and I have a mouse, pad and headset. The monitor will need to be able to run games like Counterstrike, H1Z1, League, WoW etc. However, it will also be used for school work and movies (Netflix) etc.
I would say 75% gaming, 25% schoolwork.
Games: 100% needs to be able to run CSGO very well. Other games will include H1Z1, WoW (somewhat), League (somewhat), Overwatch, and other shooters. Mainly will be playing a lot of "shooter" games.
Software: I don't believe I will be using too much heavy software. However, I want my computer to be able to use things like Cinema4D and Vegas. I am into beat making so it needs to be able to support programs and software. I currently use my mac for beats and stuff like that but I still want a computer that I can rely on as well. So, basically "the basics" plus some more.
Aesthetics: Honestly, don't really care what it looks like. A normal box computer would be fine with me. Some color or design will be fine with me.
Rebates/Promos: You can make the final price AFTER the rebates of the final PC between 1800-2200. So it could be 2300 and with a rebate still be in my range.
Details: I don't want to have to worry about storage problems or running out of room. I want a good build that I can rely on with school but mostly rely on for gaming and beat making.
I would love to get a prebuilt thing from iBuyPower and then just edit some options on there. However, if you guys want to work with me through a whole build, I would be okay with that as well.
When: No time frame. If I could have it before the holidays (christmas), I would be happy. If I could get it next week, Id be happier.

This build is within your budget and includes a monitor, keyboard and mouse as well.
You can edit the list to your liking and remove the keyboard/mouse if you'd like, however this build would be very good for gaming and has lots of future upgrading potential if you ever decide to do that.
IF you want a fresh build I could do that also, just let me know.
EDIT: I can't stress this enough, but buying a pre-built computer from anywhere is not a good idea.

Do not buy a pre-built system. Building a PC is very easy, and trust me, you'll understand why pre-builts are shit after you build an actual good system with your money.
This is the sort of system you should be looking at;
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] / [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
CPU: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($324.95 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($114.99 @ B&H)
Motherboard: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($129.99 @ B&H)
Memory: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($71.89 @ OutletPC)
Storage: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($113.81 @ Amazon)
Storage: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($53.00 @ Amazon)
Video Card: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($394.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Case: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($93.99 @ NCIX US)
Power Supply: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($105.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Monitor: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($475.99 @ B&H)
Keyboard: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($129.54 @ Amazon)
Mouse: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($51.99 @ Best Buy)
Total: $2061.12
i7 Will easily handle gaming, editing, rendering, etc. Nice cooler to OC the 6700K as far as you can push it, if you wish. 16GB RAM is plenty, but you still have room to add 2 more sticks easily. Nice big SSD for your OS and favourite/most used games and programs. HDD for media and smaller/less used games, programs, etc. 2.5TB will be plenty for now and you can easily add more storage whenever. SLI support so you can easily add a 2nd GTX 1070 at any point. With this kind of budget, you're going to need nice peripherals so I included those for you. Nice RGB mouse, nice mechanical RGB keyboard, and a nice 4k monitor. For monitor, you could go 3440x1440 ultrawide or 1440p 144Hz instead of 4k if you wanted. Also left some money in the budget for you to play with, I'd put $60 towards an NZXT Hue+ for your system and buy pizza/games with the $50-100 or so you'll have left.

To be completely honest if you go onto this site [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] #
You can build a custom PC they build it for you and ship it, and you wouldnt have to spend over 1600. I got mine from there it only cost me 1100.
You dont have to spend over 2000 on a custom built pc, if you did then you might aswell buy a pre built one at that point.
point is, go on that site and you can build a PC that can run anything full HD for under 1500.

This is terrible advice and makes zero sense. Paying $1500 for a system for 1080p is stupid.

Not being funny but at no point did i say it cannot run 4K, not everyone has a 4k monitor, everyones saying pay over $2000 when he can build a very good computer for less than $1500?
i only payed $1100 and its 4.7GHz not overclocked. so its not bad advice, hes hardly going to spend over $2000 when he can get the same speed and the same graphics for $1100 he doesnt need half the stuff that has been recommended
also he does not need a bloody $100 case? if you spent 2000 on your computer for them specs then you have no idea how to build a pc damn!
OH i forgot the mouse and Keyboard you posted are over $100 WTF do you want him to buy, gold? he wants it for gaming and school work not a bloody gold plated keyboard and mouse. that will add an extra $300

How about you go and look at the system I suggested. It includes about $650-$700 worth of peripherals, so it's actually a $1300 PC that is very capable of running 4k. No one is telling OP to spend more than $2000, but his budget, as he has clearly stated, is $1800-$2200. A $1500 pre-built is not going to be anywhere near the same performance as a $1500 built system.
Also, you said this;

which makes zero sense.

That's an absolute lie, unless you have an FX-9590, in which case, you were ripped off big time. It's absolutely terrible advice. He can't get the same kind of performance with less money, especially not with a pre-built.

we arent talking about my PC though, you have just stated that he should get a $129.45 keyboard, a $51.99 mouse and a $500 monitor when he doesn't need to, all he needs to run a good PC is an I7, with GTX 1080 and lowest 8GB not a bloody $130 keyboard.
