Try to keep it below $1000 to.

Couldn't get a keyboard, a mechanical keyboard is minimum $110

Also 16gb of RAM is overboard, especially for a build under $1500. For gaming, and everything else 8GB is fine. 16gb is needed when rendering content creation.

Erm... it's quite a bit over budget, and you don't have a lot of storage. but we can definitely whittle it down if you wish. This is just the sort of thing I'd be going for if I needed such a small, mobile gaming rig. In any case, trust me, you don't need 8GB right now, not unless you're doing loads of video editing or something along those lines. Take a stick out of there, you'll be just fine.

 

OS is included

I wanted a computer like this as I want to record gameplay and render the videos so yes 16gb is necessary. Not trying to be mean. And thanks.

You can't get a mechanical keyboard for that budget. Although this is a rock solid little PC.

EDIT: Forgot HDD, that's another $60. Still, only $90 over budget :V
