hey guys its Scitest here and i have been really struggling with my current setup|(Dell N510 laptop...)

I am not able to play any games nor am i able to use softwares like premire photoshop and audacity 

(i had a desktop before ...but we sold it when we mowed)

here is the setup That i have selected

 

i7 6700k

gigabyte gaming 7 (Or designaire)

Deepcool Maelstorm 360 (RED)

Strix 1080

Antec HCP 750(or Seasonic s12g 750..if i can locate one)

WD black ;2tb

Samsung evo 850:250GB

Corsair 780t

Gskill Ripjaws v(2x8gb)

Steelseries elite Prism

Razer blackwidow chroma

g502 oR mamba TE

Asus Vg278Qe

NZXT hue

Logitech C920

(extra fans :5x140mm SP)

Total(adding OS and Adobe cloud subsription):INR 200000(+- 5percent)

 

My parents shot down the idea (So help plz) 

 

Get an i5-6600, GTX 1060. Forget about the SSD for now, just get a HDD. Start with a cheap keyboard and mouse, you can upgrade those later if you want to. As for the monitor, get a decent 1080p 60Hz monitor, rest are way too expensive in India. You should be able to build one for INR 80k altogether. Trust me, don't get the higher end parts if you're from India, resale value is horrible and you'll be overspending in the first place.

Get a job and buy it yourself.

Not sure what your parents do for a living but you've selected a setup that most working people with full time jobs and no kids probably can't afford let alone parents!

 

tone it down a bit i'd say?

[SpaceGhostC2C]

Well, you will need to drug them or something, because they are essentially right on this one. I don't see a way to convince them while they are in their right mind.

my dad is a lawyer he has a merc for crying out loud(he upgraded from a Honda civic Last year)

When my parents gave me $350 to replace a 5-year-old ASUS X200CA laptop, I didn't ask if I could spend THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!!!

[Kosios]

How old of you first off?  Maybe you can get a job?

Also if  I were you I would ask for a much cheaper computer.  I know my parents wouldn't have spent that kind of money on me lol.  Also be good.  Help around the house and keep your grades up.

[normpearii]

First off, if you had to sell your previous desktop when you moved, don't you think maybe asking for $1500+ USD system is a little much? Of course they shot you down.

Find some work, and buy the system part by part. It sounds like your parents aren't in a position financially to just spend that kind of money. Don't pressure them. Buying your first computer with your own, hard earn money can be very rewarding.

That's stupid.  Getting a job is one of the most valuable things you can learn as an adolescent!!!  Colleges love to see them.  Not to mention the many many life skills you will learn.

[JoeCoke]

Go with a MUCH cheaper PC, like a i3 or FX based PC. Asking your parents for thousands is just NOT gonna happen. Also, do something for them back, make a deal, work hard. Another thing you could do is hunt down a old system (Like a 775 socket system) and throw a q6600 and 750ti in it for cheap. Check craigslist and garage sales.

 

Just some suggestions.

There are plenty of things $3000+ can be spent on a child, a gaming machine isn't going to be one of them unless it's a drop in the bucket. You can build a decent performer for $800 to start. That's a much easier pill to swallow.

Well the catch is you live in India so I don't know if/where/how you're going to get these parts. But there's a rough idea.

[masterzpcz]

Try to be more modest with the system try something like a 1060 and an i5 6400 parents aren't usually to happy when there kids ask them for $3000 dollar pcs

I was going to respond, but after reading the thread, I think this is basically just a troll post.

It's either that, or the OP is just a greedy entitled brat.

Ahh I gotcha.  Also they do care!!!  Colleges like to see extra curricular stuff. (P.S. getting into college isn't as hard as teachers like to make is sound)
