Do you need all the peripherals? Is the 800 including the windows license? 

 

 

I have all the peripherals and would like to exlude the windows license as I already have a key on hand.

Ok just the PC and it's parts. 

 

Any color preferences?( Like a red/black build) Do you want water(something like an H100) or air cooling?

Just gaming and basic usage(like browsing the web and such)

 

Just trying to make it work for you. Its your PC, so the more info we have hte better suited it'll be towards you.

I like white and black/red and black and water if it is overclockable, air if it isn't, and I will use this for homework, gaming, making short youtube videos and occasionally streaming.

Basic usage then. Alright. Just was trying to see what you wanted it to look like. 

 

I'll throw something together.

This has SC 1060, one of the best for the price or so I have heard.  

Small SSD for boot drive, could switch out HDD for a bigger one. 

16gb of ram for your youtube videos (I assume includes editing)

6600k for overclockability, air cooled for now, but an AIO will cost a bit more, so might have to sacrifice something to get one.

I made this variant for the extra storage for the videos. I've made videos before and the terabyte of space is nice, even if you do have to sacrifice the 10 less seconds of boot time. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/yFMh7h

I'll give it a shot, non oc 6500 chip, 240ssd and 1tb drive. 1060 single 8gb stick. quiet case (define 5) for voice/vocal tracking for vid's. You can always add another stick of ram later on. Mainly black colour, $840.

Guys I have an idea. We should all post our official build and then vote on which one should be chosen.

the og poster has informed no. /s

 

Also we can vote for ourselves so that would be stupid.
