1. Budget & Location Budget less than $1,100, for the PC itself, not including the peripherals. If needed, budget can exceed $1,100. (US)
2. Aim This system will mostly be used for gaming, & some web browsing. Games like Far Cry 4, Battlefield 4, Portal 2, GTA V, etc. Hoping to exceed 60 fps consistently on Highest settings.
3. Monitors I plan on using only 1 monitor, it being 1920 x 1080, at 144hz & 1 ms. 4. Peripherals Also need to purchase a gaming mouse, keyboard, & headset. I'd like the mouse & keyboard to be less than $50 each, & the headset less than $100. A good sound system for gaming also would be helpful, around $100, if you have any suggestions. I will need Windows 10.
