SPEND MY MONEY

Ive recently got a huge bonus from the investment firm I work at and have allocated $4,000

to spend on a new build but not too sure on what or where to start with. 

My ultimate goal is to Play any game out there above 144 frames per second minimum

Also make sure it fits into a Corsair 540 cause my home office everything is very  low profile.

just swap the 5820k for a 5960x, remove a few SSD's to compensate, and there you go
