CSGO GAMING PC BUILD

[Abdriano]

Hello guys!

So here´s the deal! I am a PC Gamer. I like to play CSGO and some other mainstream games. I am looking for a good performance and life expectancy build. Also a very good FPS in CSGO. Price doesn't really matter, but bare in mind I am not a millionaire. So a price range would be between 768-1155 (USD) and in Euro that would be 629-945. When it comes to overclocking I am not a big fan. I would like to play games with good performance without overclocking.

The main goal with the build would be:

1. Play CSGO at very high FPS
   
2. Being able to play other games (Assassin's Creed, GTA V, maybe BF - mid/low details) with good FPS. Nothing insane, but good.
   
3. Capable of future upgrades - for instance GPU, Memory, CPU and so on.
   
4. Being able to livestream.
   

This sounds like an overall gaming PC. Well maybe it is, but instead of buying a desktop from for instance ACER , AZUZ or other manufactures, I would rather build one. Because of flexibility.

It's a long text to read I KNOW. But you guys would help me a lot!!

This is a non overclocking build. You will have to check local availability and pricing. GPU, for example tend to be more expensive in Europe than N.Am. so a GTX 970 may not fit the budget.

Yes, you are right. Components are far more expensive over here (Europe). But I am willing to pay more to match my requirements. Nice build. I will also keep this build in mind. I need as many suggestions as possible
