Budget:
not sure, looking.

Expectations: high, side window, CDROM,


Usage:
mostly Games, Steam, World of Warships, surfing safely

Special Needs:
good frame rates

Saved Ticket #: [Please Type Here]

Specifications:
have no idea
Now: Case Thermaltake V9 BlacX duel bay docking station on top, windows7 SP1, ASUS P8P67 deluxe,750PS, 2 single TB WD Black Raid 1,500GB Crucial, Intel I5 2500K @3.3GHZ, 8 GIG ram, Radeon HD 6900 series 2 gig (think).
I do not like windows 10 . every thing plays well, it is old and starting to decline rapidly. Any input for comparabilty a bit more on the GPU 6gig?
Question: I have my games saved on the HD's, so will I be able to use those on a new comp and will they function on a new comp? (save me many hours of time down loading and passwords)

Welcome to the forums! Essential info is what monitor resolution you will be gaming at. With your present setup, it seems 1080p (or less), but you may have plans. Your HDDs will play nice with a new comp, but you need to watch 'em closely due to age.

Yeah, the monitors resolution determines the video card, plus letting us know your budget is important.   We could recommend the Vanquish level 4 for $1800, which games great on a 1080p monitor, or a custom Lumos build with better, upgraded parts like power supply, motherboard, m.2 drive and cpu cooler, but cost goes up another $1000.

Hey thanks
I have a 6 second refresh rate...not fancy around 1080.
I see they offer only windows 10, which I don't care for at all.

Win 10 not a big deal. I wasn't looking forward to that, but it wasn't very complicated to find the stuff that matters most to me, and now I just game! If it's an iossue after you try it out, you can find a new Win 7 disc online for under $30.

As bpratt22 said, if you like the looks of the Vanquish 4, that's a great deal. If you want custom, we need to know what you can spend.

Looking pretty good. I recommend the air cooler for this build. I ordered the Coridium for the optical drive option, but I also asked that the AIO rad be mounted in the top. The water cooler tubes went right through the optical bays.

You might consider the Samsung 960 250GB M.2 for just $38 more. You'll get the Samsung 3 year warranty that way. DS warranty is one year. We usually recommend the 500GB 960 Pro for even better performance/warranty, but I'm assuming your choice was for budget reasons. Other than that, good to go!
