$5,500 Dollar Budget

[Kawarii]

Hello, this is my first post and the main reason why I joined these forums.

 

I would like to build a complete computer from the ground up. Excluding the Keyboard mouse speakers and other components.

 

Just ONE monitor and the computer please.

-Just some preferences, and back story

My dad is not the most tech savy and I know you guys are the best place in the internets to ask for computer help. He wants a new computer and yes I know you cant build a future proof computer, he wants it as close so future proof as possible. Games like Battlefield 4 etc all current gen games.

 

I would prefer the color scheme to be either all red or all blue. whites and blacks are OK and at least one led strip would be nice.

Preferred case is the 400R from Corsair

Please no water cooling, Closed loop is ok (H100i), but open loop or resevor types is a no go for me.

 

Edit: one Optical drive that supports Blue ray +3D

2nd Edit: One 3TB hard drive and a small-ish SSD for a boot drive.

At this point that's all for the computer its self 

_________________________________________________________

As for the monitor I would prefer below 4k (not willing to drop 3 grand on a 4k monitor) but something like a 1440k - below 4k would be ok. Also the monitor has to support 120Hz or better because he would like 3D Nivida support on games.

 

That is all and I am hoping to hear back from the people here!

it is totally overkill. i woulr recommend spending 2-3 grand on the computer and save the rest for upgrades over the years.

There is no way I can talk him out of it. His brain is a brick wall when it comes to spending money, when he sets a budget he intends to hit it > _>

 

Edit: He likes it (hes going to swap out windows 8 for 7 Ultimate. (Please don't ask why I don't honestly know )
