First Post. First Build.

[TeddyBruh]

1. Budget & Location
My budget is $800 - $ 850. Location is US. I PREFER ONLY NEWEGG, AND AMAZON. And i don't live near a Micro Center.
2. Aim
I want to do a lot of Photo Editing, Web browsing, Watching youtube videos, and some gaming. I only play Counter Strike, Planet Side 2, and Team Fortress, and warframe only since i mostly game on console with friends. I want a case that looks NICE, and has very good cable management. Maybe a Source 212. I want more than two RAM slots. I don't want any Dual Core processor because i personally dislike em. So quad core minimum. I don't need any of the latest features found on motherboards and etc because i'll never use it. 
3. Monitors
I need a IPS monitor in the build. I'll buy it at Best Buy. 1920 x 1080p 
4. Peripherals
I want a Corsair K65. I want to get into mechanical keyboards, i hate membrane. 

5. Why are you upgrading?
I have a crappy core 2 duo laptop.

Monitor and keyboard in budget? what about OS / mouse?

 

 

Here's basically a price break down for you:

 

$850 Remaining

- $120 Reasonable Monitor

$730 Remaining

- $90 Corsair K65

$640 Remaining

- $120 Windows 8.1

$520 Remaining

 

For $520 you are looking at a dual core, or an AMD Build.

I dont need windows in the build

 

Edit: i have a mouse

[Mistersprinkles]

As was mentioned, you're looking at $620 in that case. Is that really enough to build a PC to do the things you want? I'm not so sure.

[OhhTee]

You best bet is probably going with an AMD build.

I not really asking for a lot though. Most are basically basic stuff. I don't mind AMD

I'm a bit over budget and I didn't fit in your keyboard, I can probably do it if you have an inflexible budget. I did put in an awesome ips display though.

 

The whole amazon/newegg thing pushed the price up pretty high.

Question, are you good with an apu?

5$ over your budget, but worth it over 4 cores AMD

If you want to get within budget, you can replace the monitor with a cheaper ips monitor and/or remove the CPU cooler.

Hooray for using factory parts!
