PC

PC is a gaming PC that I am making with a budget of $1000 USD. I need it to be quiet while providing a smooth PC experience from easy to run titles like CSGO, to more demanding ones like Witcher 3 at 1080p. I already have a 1080p monitor, and everything as I am upgrading from my old PC (which will turn into a server). Here's what I need overall:

———————————————————————— 

  • Quiet
  • Fast
  • High Performance in games
  • Fits my budget
  • OS Included

———————————————————————— 

Here is the list I have already made:

Everything looks perfect. The only thing i can suggest is wait a few month for Pascal/Polaris before buying the gpu.

Just now, lawn said:

Aren't those aimed at higher-end prices like $600

not if you wait for the 1070/490. it will be the same price as the current 390 and offer better performance. if anything, 390 prices will drop by then.
