Recently cleaned up a spare bedroom and turning it into a media room (recliners, big projector, etc) and there is a built in spot for a desk and wanted to put a new PC in there for people to use when visiting so they aren't messing up my main machine.

 

Figured I would let you guys pick the parts down to the cables, screws and colors.

 

Budget really isn't there but I won't want to go quad sli titans or anything.

 

4790k is a must. AIO cooler, don't feel like doing a custom loop.

You should definitely set a maximum price. We all know what's going to happen when someone says: "Budget really isn't there"; expect builds over $9000.

I meant it when I said no budget lol. But within reason. I do plan on making it a cool build log. It's going to be used as a gaming machines for friends and family when they visit. I do have a ultra wide screen that came in at work as an error in shipping that LG said to keep.

I get the feeling that you're trying to tell him that this is a mistake in the nicest possible way.

 

Now I feel like an idiot for not understanding a joke that apparently is so obvious :( could you please tell me where the joke lies?

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

The joke lies within that case's very existence.
