$1000 build

[tryphaa]

Hi all, im looking for a $1k build but i could probably stretch to a little over $1,100. I will be mostly gaming. I prefer intel personally. Gpu honestly doesnt matter, and i really want an ssd. Thanks!

 

EDIT: I would like it to be matx in the 350d, but if not its no biggie. Also i need windows.

So, what kind of games are you going to be playing? 

 

Can i have a detailed list of everything you wish to do on this computer? 

 

AND, Where do you live?

there you go. it streches the budget a little bit, you could save some here and there but something along those lines should be pefect. It also really depends if you need Windows and peripherals or not.

I will be playing games like BF4 and Bioshock, but also more casual games like SMITE and Garry's Mod. Mainly gaming, like I said, but possibly some photo editing/video editing. 1440p at some point is also planned. I live in the US.

3570K is better than the 4670K

2TB is better than 1TB

Case is more or less the same. More a personal thing

600W is probably overkill.
