• Where are you located? Western NY between Buffalo NY and Erie PA
• What is your budget? Want to keep it under $4,000
• Will you need a monitor, keyboard, and/or mouse included in that budget? [COLOR="red"]No[/COLOR]
• Shall you be requiring an OS? Yes
• What will you be using this rig for? Gaming
• If gaming, what resolution will you be playing at? Initially 1080p, but as soon as this is built I going to be in the market for a 1440p ultra wide
• Will you be overclocking? Yes
• Do you need a full build or will you be reusing some old parts? Full build
I am having spinal surgery on Sept 30th so I hope to get everything ordered, assembled and running before that date, so it's ready to go when I get out of the hospital.
I had planned on building it in a gunmetal grey SMA8 from caselabs, but when I tried to order it they literally stopped offering them in colors the day before..... Wow my timing really SUCKs
So I've included Define S for the build and then once caselabs starting offering the SMA8s in gunmetal grey again I'll order and once I get it I'll rebuild this rig in the SMA8 although at the same time I will be adding a second video card and building a customer water cooling loop for CPU and GPUs.
Any thoughts, suggesting or opinions on the parts below would be greatly appreciated.
