Hey guys. 

I hope to get a new computer soon, and the budget is one thousand dollars. In addition, I would like to have an Nvidia GPU and an Intel CPU. 

If you could help me out with choosing parts, that'd be great. 

Just in case if anyone is wondering why I would not like to have AMD parts - I would like to have all the features from Nvidia, and Intel CPU's are superior in the games that I play.

Thanks in advance!

-Daniel 

 

 

 

 

Also, 

 

Already have an OS.

Already have periperals.

Live in United States.

Mostly just for gaming; probably not going to do hardcore editing.

Would like to be quite, but as long as it's not too loud, I'll be okay.

Not going to Overclock.

Are you planning on gaming? are you looking for small form factor, silence, or raw performance for video editing? Are you planning on overclocking?

Sorry for not including those details; I edited my original post.

Oh, and any thoughts on a color scheme? and by no peripherals and no OS, do you mean you have them or you need them?

You could dump define r4 get a 300r instead and get a 780 but that would put your build at $1050
