1. Budget & Location I live in Europe, and my friend's budget is around 2k euro. ( Inclusive : Monitor, Desk, etc. ) 2. Aim The system will be used for Gaming, Streaming, Recording, and Editing. He started a youtube channel 2 years ago, and he is looking for an upgrade. 3. Monitors He plays CSGO, so he wanted the 144hz, and he will also editing so he wants an IPS panel as well. But MOSTLY recording, and just a bit streaming. 4. Peripherals none. 5. Why are you upgrading? Because his older PC is outdated. It is not keeping up with all the softwares and games he uses. Also he needs a bigger desk. Here is some part list i have suggested for him.
