New Config Help (mainly for MMO Gaming)

Budget: I can spend up to 5k, but I know it's not necessary for what I need the PC for, so build accordingly.....if you get it much cheaper than that, that's great, as I have other needs too!

Expectations: Ultra Settings. I like it pretty.

Usage: MMO Gaming mainly - World of Warcraft & Overwatch (currently). I don't play much more other than Blizzard games. I might expand outside of that in the future though.

Special Needs: I live in year round warm climate (Florida). I've lived here for almost 20 years, so I like the warmth. One of the problems though is the inside of my house is also very warm, as I keep my A/C on at 83 degrees, so my room gets warm when the PC is under load. I'm not sure if that is a problem, but I've gone through a few ****s & an A******* computer previously and I believe they may of succumbed to overheating during their life spans. I play for extended period of times, sometimes over 8-12 hours straight (don't judge), this is my entertainment. ;). So, in the end, I think I need to make sure I have a very nice cool system, as my #1 priority and also I need to be able to connect wirelessly, to the internet.

Saved Ticket #: Sorry I haven't built one, as I don't know much about PC building, that is why I came here to get the expert opinions. Previously when I built my own custom PC's from places I always went over the top and added way to much stuff and wasted a lot of cash, so I'm looking for some help and not doing that this time, as I don't want to go overboard, although lasting 3-5 years would be nice, outside of video card upgrades.

Monitor I'll be using is an: ASUS ROG SWIFT PG348Q 34" Curved 3440x1440 100Hz IPS G-SYNC Gaming Monitor.

Any help with a build is much appreciated, as I'm tired of playing on my dinky laptop right now, as my Imac screen keeps going out on me while playing (I guess from the heat)....

Thanks for your help and time guys, I really appreciate it! Anything else you need to know, just ask? I think I covered everything though needed to make a build.

Thanks for the welcome & the quick build DST4ME. I appreciate your help!

I was assuming the heat would be the main problem here, I'll look into your suggestions.

From your builds and what you said, my best bet is the liquid cooling to get a bit better cooling than air, even if it's warmer than typical?

Even though I went through a few computers, both of my **** lasted about 6-7 years, but my A******* didn't fare as well, but that was the graphics card (so my friend said).

I tried to play in a cooler environment, but my body is use to the 80 degree weather now. Even then I'm under a blanket.

Thanks again for your help, much appreciated!

Originally posted by DST4ME Water always transfers heat better then air. But be mind full this an open loop lc system we are talking about not one of those aio. I would wear a heavy coat if I had to and use my pc in 75c or lower room temps. If your gpu died in the other pc that is no reason to get a new pc you just change/upgrade the gpu, that can happen to any pc. Bit of info: 1. Do not install Mcafee , instead get a lighter better anti virus like ESET ( number 3 on the list ) Or any other good light Anti Virus will do. 2. With extra fans request that DS changes all case fans and connects all your fans to the mobo so you can control them via free software. This way we can control the fans without needing anything else (aka fan controller and etc). Also be sure to pick the color of the ring you wan the fans to have (red/blu/white). 3. The warranty here is 3 year labor and 1 year parts so if you want higher part warranty be sure to raise the warranty level to the desired level.

Yeah, I realize that about the GPU and just changing it out / upgrading it. That PC was from 2000 that I was referring to, when I was living in Key West and I no longer have it. At the time that is what I had to do though.

Looks pretty sweet!!
