Replacement for Laptop - Streaming/Gaming/Audio work

[lilropefox]

1. Budget & Location

My budget is as close to $1000 max as possible but willing to go over if worth it. I will be building this towards the end of February or early March with my tax return. (no longer true, buying parts today)

2. Aim

I plan on using the computer for general daily use of browsing, Discord, streaming and games(mostly rpg, but a variety will be played, games like LOL or DOTA wont be played though). I will also do some audio recording on the side but as far as I am aware that doesnt take much pc side. 

3. Monitors

I plan on eventually running two 1080p or 1440p monitors at 144hz but not required right now if it wont fit in budget. I have a 1080p 60hz monitor right now. 

4. Peripherals

I already have keyboard, mouse, speakers, webcam and mic. For my OS I will be using windows as my main drive and I will have a dual boot option for linux on a separate drive. 

5. Why are you upgrading?

I am upgrading because my current laptop is quite old and not capable of running most games let alone minecraft. 

 

Parts that I already have and will be reusing in the new build:

2 500gb SSD (windows on 1 and linux on the other)

1 Be Quiet Pure 600 PC case
