I've removed the SSD because I'd rather not spend over $2500, plus read/write speeds doesn't really bother me. I know I'm going over $2000, I figured out I have a GoPro! I totally forgot about that, gonna sell it for $150. I am probably too much over limit, I'm gonna have to remove some things but I'm still like 2-4 weeks away from buying it.

- Not at all, got a 512 GB SSD from Samsung - True, what about this monitor? - LOL, didn't even notice that it was more or the price must have increased. Eh, who cares, it looks sick. - Yeah, does Amazon have warranty on PC parts? - Asus is good for mobos.

I don't do video editing so that's pointless. I never take it anywhere so that's also pointless. It can barely play Garry's Mod (low settings & low res), maybe 15 fps to 30 max. Garry's Mod was created a long time ago, like 2001.

- I don't need an SSD, really. - Ok, I'll switch to something cheaper. - I'll look for a cheaper monitor. How about this monitor? - I'm gonna switch to these RAM because I want to keep the black/white color scheme I've decided to go with. - I'm gonna keep the mobo, I'll see if I can buy it from BestBuy since they sell mobos and their products come with warranty. - Picked the 1070 to keep the color scheme, I also think they sell that from BestBuy.

I know it's over my budget but for Christmas, I'm gonna get money from family. I might also be able to sell my Bluetooth speaker for $200 instead of $150.

Yeah, I love 1440p monitors, the perfect resolution. I'm currently creating a PCPP list, I'll post it when I'm finished.

I don't like AMD cards that much. I'm more of a NVIDIA fan. All though it does out perform a GTX 1060, I might be able to get a 1070 with my budget.

Why keep the MacBook? Just a question.

My AIO came with a cheap keyboard (probably like $10) and I bought a wireless mouse for $15. I prefer NVIDIA for GPU's but that R9 is really ... I would kind of say outdated (compared to the modern generations of GPUs). I like that monitor a lot, are you presuming that I will be resolution scaling in-game? If not, I'm not sure if that graphics card can handle it, but I haven't seen benchmarks yet.

Looks good, might make some modifications like changing the case.

Sadly, I don't have a monitor to use with my new PC, so I'll need to buy one. My current PC is an all-in-one so the PC is built in with the monitor.

Well, I mostly use my Mac for school work and our school recently got some new chromebooks so I'm not using it as much. I've mostly been doing Node.js projects on it but I can easily do that if I get a new PC.

So, this Christmas, I don't think I'm gonna get a lot since I had a good Christmas last year. I got a new MacBook Pro last year and it's amazing, except it can't play some of the games I would like it to. I also have this shit all-in-one PC that I think I could get $400 out of. I might also sell my Bluetooth speaker and get $150 out of that. In total -- if I sold all three of those -- I would get a total of $1749. Do you think I should sell all of these things and build my own PC? I've been having to deal with 128 MB of VRAM and only 800 MHz RAM (let's just say one thing, it sucks). What do you think?

Ignore this post, I've just recently got some new speakers to actually go with my receiver. Thanks, anyway! If you still want to read my post:

ah ok
