I need some help and a pcpartpicker list would be great. Just whoop me up a $1000 build that has the best performance for my $. Whether it's Skylake, AMD, Nvidia I don't really care. I can go no more than $1050. I don't care about aesthetics, just purely gaming performance. Thanks! :)

Only PC? Do you need a copy of windows? Anything specific you want like DVD drives?

Only pc, but a dvd drive would benefit

This is a solid build with a GTX 980. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7VnFzy

My Work in Progress PC http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/522048-xeon-build/ <-- That PC was built but never booted:(

My Work in Progress PC 2.0 https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/540583-xeon-build-20-code-name-xenox (Hopefully this one boots.)

I like that one a lot, I really like that choice in case.

Worth noting that the 6500 comes with its own CPU cooler so you could save $30 there. You could also save a bit by getting a H170 if you don't plan on overclocking.

Intel Xeon 1650 V0 (4.4GHz @1.4V), ASRock X79 Extreme6, 32GB of HyperX 1866, Sapphire Nitro+ 5700XT, Silverstone Redline (black) RL05BB-W, Crucial MX500 500GB SSD, TeamGroup GX2 512GB SSD, WD AV-25 1TB 2.5" HDD with generic Chinese 120GB SSD as cache, x2 Seagate 2TB SSHD(RAID 0) with generic Chinese 240GB SSD as cache, SeaSonic Focus Plus Gold 850, x2 Acer H236HL, Acer V277U be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4, Logitech K120, Tecknet "Gaming" mouse, Creative Inspire T2900, HyperX Cloud Flight Wireless headset, Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

This is a great build. Probably the best here. I would say it beat mine.

I really hate that case though, but it works. 

The 980 is about 15% faster than the 390, but the i7 is nice to have for those special applications that can use it.  Hopefully more new games are able to utilize multiple threads properly, moving forward.

Oh, and ty.  :)

This is the case I would suggest replacing it with. I got Mine 50 because he took my lowball offer. It is a great looking case. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Fractal-Design-Define-S-Open-Box-/121881746339?nav=SEARCH

$30?  Wow, awesome deal.  That is $30, right:  "Buy It Now"? 

Hey sorry for responding in the quote box but the forum quoting system and other things are messed up right now on the mobile version of the forum. Anyways yes it is 30 dollars but with another 30 for shipping still a great price though. The seller will accept 20 for the case which is what I got it for from them. The windowed version is just another 10 dollars.  http://m.ebay.com/itm/Fractal-Design-Define-S-Window-Open-Box-/121879773964?nav=SEARCH
