1700$ build

[redroser]

I'm looking to build a gaming pc for around 1700$. Would like to use Intel for CPU, don't plan on water cooling , needs to come with everything but keyboard and mouse. Looking to play modern games on ultra and would like to go with a red color scheme.

So tower, OS, and monitor?

Are you asking if I needs to includethese things?

The budget, it's for the tower, operating system, and monitor? Outside of the keyboard and mouse those are the bare essentials for a pc.

I overkilled on Ram, Storage, and GPU. But just because the budget allows it. 

Feel free to choose another case / PSU / Hard Drive / OS as those are pure preference.

Yes

Mind clarifying whether or not you need a mouse/keyboard?

This will max out almost everything at 1080p and should last 2-3 years before you'd want to upgrade the gpu or something along those lines.

Use the rest of the money on food or future upgrades or something. Maybe get a second display for easier multitasking.

He said he wanted intel. Lol AMD is good, but for Multithreaded programs. Which, new games are becoming. 

I'd suggest more RAM personally. 8Gb is getting near the starting point. BF4 asks for a minimum of 6. 

I'm not a fan of the Rosewill PSUs, unless this is a diamond in the rough i wouldn't suggest it. 

All in all, nice choices Woody.

The Rosewill psu is actually pretty good. The Hive line is pretty nice in general. 

If he must have Intel: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1Vr8x

 

8GB ram is plenty for gaming. It's not like BF4 recommends 16GB ram or anything.
