Budget:
No higher than $3,500

Expectations:
High-quality gaming for streaming and videos.

Usage:
Gaming, and streaming.

Special Needs:
High resolution and FPS for games like Cod, battlefield, gta, etc...

Saved Ticket #: 1755814

Specifications:would like to use the Lumos setup, with some internal lighting (blue preferrably) and have a good cooling system while staying quiet and obviously good graphics and such. I dont really know much about computers but hope to catch on quick for my career in programming. Im sure im going overkill on the saved ticket number i made.

Overkill is an understatement, do you want the best bang for your buck or do you want overkill?

The way it works is that you decide what kind of race you want to run and then we tell you what kind of a car to use, in this case the race is your monitor's native resolution and the car is the graphic power/card it takes to max that resolution.

Otherwise you want to flush money down the drain, you can put a drag race engine in a nascar but no one will see the point.

So if you like to get the best bang for your buck, lets talk monitors first, do you have one or will be buying one, if so what are you looking at? 4k/1440p/1080p? 60hz or 120hz?

Also another struggle is... i am living in an RV currently, but when we settle down and get a house I will get started, so yes I will be looking at a new moniter, 1440p and I would assume 120hz but Im not sure on the hz yet. I am still doing my research on computers. I would like the best bang for my buck does help save money. The computer I posted is somethimg that I just kinda put together just for kicks to see what replies I got with help, opinion, facts, and information.

Click Image To Go To Configuration Page


Gave you 1080ti just to show you, but all you need for 1440p is 1080, if you want above 100fps in most games then get 1080ti, just remember no point in getting more than 60fps with a monitor that has a 60hz refresh rate.

Take your time, look at anandtech, guru3d, and see the difference between 1080 vs 1080ti and make sure the extra performance is something that you have use for.

We can go with m.2 ssd for faster ssd speeds if you like.

I apologize it was Omniped.

Anyways buying a PC from here is just like any other place...

The difference comes after you receive it ...

Not like any other place ...

No Voodoo.. No Magic... No Bottlenecks ...

But Certainly an abundance of JOY !!!

Good Luck and Congrats !!
