Living room build

[Bjernhart]

What's going on lads!

 

Forgive the title of this topic, this will not really be a "living room" build exactly. What I'm looking for is a computer that could easily out perform any current generation of console. Since I'm moving to a new apartment, I'd like to get a second computer. And the reason why I would like to, is because I have a lot of kids in my family, nephews, nieces, cousins and so on, and they love to play computer games. And I'm aware that I could just get a "real" console for a few hundred dollars and be done with it, but I want the kids to have an enjoyable gaming experience.

 

I was planning to get a computer that could be used as a more powerful console, a computer that will easily pull of 60 FPS at 1080p. This computer will mainly play eSport titles such as, Overwatch and League of Legends, but if it could take on triple A titles as well, that would be extremly nice.

Since I've managed to save up quite abit for this build, I have around 1000-1200 USD to spend. I'm afraid that I cannot really go over budget. And yes I know that my budget may be overkill for a "more powerful console" but this is money that I've saved up specifically for this computer.

 

I'm in no need of a monitor, keyboard or mouse. The only thing that is missing is the system itself.

And NO I don't care if it is AMD or Intel, AMD or Nvidia. Best bang for the buck!

Feel free to leave me, your suggestions!

need it to be small? or just a regular tower will do?

You can add a hard drive and a 250GB SSD instead of the 500GB SSD. Ignore the cooler incompatibility. You may have to request a bracket, though

A normal tower works just fine.

Any 1070 would do. The Zotac 1070 Mini is in stock for $20 more

This is overpowered, but it is what $1200 can do.

1080p ultra settings for at least 3, maybe 5 years?

 

If you only want to beat a console then this is enough

That 2nd computer would actually do just fine. Well within my budget, I might even save a couple of bucks!
