Need help buying components?

[Quarterhill]

I need some help building a decent gaming rig around $800. I'm not the biggest component wizard as I know many people here might be. Any suggestions? I'm not the biggest fan of AMD due to known driver issues with some of my favorite games such as Diablo, but if there is a good deal I might look into it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any peripherals? OS? Monitor? Color Scheme? Location? Will you need cuda? Location?

maybe get a 380/x with a SSD if you feel like getting faster storage

I honestly need everything. I honestly wasn't expecting such a quick response so thank you for that, but color color scheme isn't a major concern of mine, either like basic white or red, I don't know what cuda is sadly, and location is Oklahoma.

Also forgot to mention I don't know much about water cooling, so if possible could someone either give me a quick run down of pros and cons, or suggest a good air cooling system?

Keyboard, mouse, monitor, and os then?

[Quarterhill]

Yes, and again, thank you so much for the quick responsiveness.

Left a little money for you to add some fans you like. In the case of this build, might be worth getting an os key off of Reddit, Kingwin, G2A, or any other site that´d you trust for like $20.
