Does this include monitor and peripherals or not?

For all we know he could be going to school for hard-core 3D editing... 

 

If that was the case then Hard-Core 3D Editing Rig would be a more appropriate title.  

 

If this is just for gaming then spend $1000 - $1500 and save the rest of the money for classes, food, gas, etc.

From what he said, it is a project for school. Maybe like if you were given $3000, what would you do with it. Most people here would obviously buy a $2800-$3000 PC and the rest left over for games.

"It is due in 2 hours."

 

It sounds like a theoretical build, people.  Calm down.

I would love some confirmation on that. I'm a bit confused to as what the situation is for the OP.
