Gaming/streaming setup

In order to help, we will need to know a little more information. Here is what Digital Storm suggests:

1. Your Budget: How much are you looking to spend on your purchase? Is that including accessories such as a monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc?

2. Expectations: What do you expect and want this new computer to have and do? Are you looking to create a triple monitor NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround setup?

3. Usage: How are you planning to use this computer? For example, playing Starcraft II and general web surfing. Or, rendering videos, 3D modeling, photo editing with some light gaming of Battlefield 2 and Mafia II.

4. Special Needs: Use this area for stuff such as you have a large library of movies and need a lot of storage space. Or, you have a very dusty environment and you want to minimize it from going into the system. You could also mention if you are looking for a very quiet computer, or want to achieve the highest overclocks.

I would also suggest giving us the size of monitor that you're planning on using. For example, a 24" 1080p monitor doesn't need a very powerful gaming computer, but 38" ultrawide monitor does, and so does a 4K monitor.

I'm thinking about getting the pre-built Lynx ultimate or best as it's a pretty good setup and cheaper then custom building it.

1. Your Budget:$3000(+500) for PC, keyboard, mouse, 2 monitors.

2. Expectations: I want to play the newest games at max settings and stream through twitch.

3. Usage: mainly gaming and streaming what I play, maybe editing videos and rendering them but I'm not sure yet.

4. Special Needs: I don't think I have any special needs. Just want a good rig that will last awhile.

With the ultimate I would probably want 4k monitors and with the best I probably want 1440
