Hello,

   I am looking to build an 800 dollar build (TOWER ONLY). I am willing to spend $1100 for everything (tower and peripherals) and I can go a bit more (100 or 150 more?) if needed. I also prefer a decent/good graphics card

 

 

Specific details:

 

Plan to have 2 monitors max.

I want to have a bezel-less monitors

Upgrading because I have 2 laptops that overheats on Minecraft.

 

It would be appreciated if you can give me a list since it would help me a lot. Thank you!

The bezel-less monitors is going to be kind of tricky, as there are no true bezel-less monitors on the market. There are ones, that look bezel-less but do not go all the way from edge to edge of the monitor.

A 4790K in an under 1000$ budget is a bad idea, you can use that money to get a better GPU

Actually I recommend this build exactly but with maybe an 850W psu which would be about 50 more if you are interested in using crossfire later, but if you are not you don't need more than a 450W which would be around $50 for a psu of that size And get a 4690k which would put you at about 800 either way.

Can someone also give me a list of peripherals? Monitors are the only ones that I'm really looking for. I can find keyboards and mouses by myself.

 

Monitors I'm looking for is the ones that have a small bezel
