900$ Cookie Contest Computer Build

[Cajuns2009]

Hello!

 

I would like some help with building my new computer, and I have decided to reward the winner of this contest with 2 box's of cookies! The cookies will be purchased from amazon and I will mail it to your address. It will probably be Oreo's or Chips Ahoy cookies. If you have problems selecting your cookies, I happen to be an expert. I will provide you with multiple recommendations for the best cookie selection that you will enjoy. I know exactly the best type of chocolate chips that go into a cookie, as I hope you know the best video card for my budget!

 

About the computer:

-The thing I would like my computer to be able to do. I primarily play Lord of the Rings online, and I would like to be able to run it at max settings, while having other programs running in the background. I also enjoy doing photo and video editing. 

 

Gaming Equipment I Already Have:

-Gaming Mouse

-Gaming Keyboard

-500GB Crucial SSD

-27" Monitor

-1 Asshole Cat 

 

My budget is 900$ but I would like to spend around 800. Remember this is a contest may the best build win!

When is the end of the contest? I am at school right now but when I get home, I will build a badass pc for you. COOKIES!!!

[Cajuns2009]

If I don't know how to build a PC, chances are, I don't know how to build a bomb! The worst thing I could probably send you would be my asshole cat, which may be worse then a bomb imo.

 

@TheRandomness-I have a 27" monitor, overclocking-is not a must but is a plus

@iamdarkyoshi- I will select the winner tomorrow around 3-4pm CST

That 1375 was quickly set back to 1000 after realising what I had done. And this build recently celebrated it's 3rd birthday, back then me nor my dad didn't know what a good PSU was

Cats can be assholes. I'd be more afraid.

[vSyNd1c4t3]

I know I won, but you can give the cookies to runner up.

 

I guess if you insist on giving the winner the cookies... my favorite are Nutter Butters

Black and Blue Themed, Monster Machine.

 

Xeon E3 4 cores 8 threads for all you video editing needs.

 

Evo 212 to keep the processor cool AND quiet.

 

Basic motherboard with a blue theme and usb 3.0.

 

Kingston HyperX Blue 16GB of ram for plenty of multitasking.

 

Gigabyte R9 390 8GB GPU w/ blue LEDs.

 

NZXT s340 black/blue edition, great cable management as well as piano black finish with nice blue accents.

 

EVGA 850w PSU capable of running the R9 390 in Crossfire with no problem. So you are Crossfire ready!

 

The $892 price doesn't include any mail in rebates, so if you are someone that actually redeems those, you might be able to save even more money with this build.
