I'm still dreaming for that perfect personal gaming computer yo! near $3k as of now

Well I got a job so I'll either be going to France in 2017 or building a PC. The latter is seemingly being the most likely as the 2017 trip to France requires an $800/mo payment for the 6 or so months until April 2017 when the final payment is due. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get them to work with whatever we can afford each month and pay what ever is left in April... If so, then I won't be building a PC in early 2017. If not, then I'll be building a PC likely in January or February. 

Soon enough, I'll be getting closer to my goal of $1,600 saved up for my PC build. (Right PCPartpicker says it's $1,516 but I'm trying to have a little money on the side to maybe get a desk and chair from Ikea or Walmart.) 

Anyways, besides all that talk about money. Things have been going pretty good.
