[geekslayer17]

hey guys, A the title reads i need help. My laptop is dying and damn it if it isn't time to switch over to a desktop. i would like to buy one from best buy or a store in general but i also think i have the expertise to build it myself if need be. I need a list of components that could easily run star citizen on ultra graphics without a hitch. i also would like it to be able to handle creative cloud and other software as such. 

Thanks for your help,

click "edit list" then "add case" then choose a case that it tells you are compatible

EDIT:

Also first remove the case

[geekslayer17]

He put the budget of the case as $200 so it is counting that, any mid- large size case should do, go by personal preference, look up some that look nice and then ask if it will work

The website will compare so its multiple websites so you can get the best price.
