What the fuck?
>Graphics Card NVIDIA Geforce GTX 980ti - 6GB GDDR5 ( Choose )
The new cards are coming out next month. You'd be an absolute IDIOT to buy now.
>Wireless TP-LINK Archer T9E AC1900 Dual Band Wireless Router
Huh? Why is that bundled?
>Monitor ASUS 24" Full-HD LED Monitor ( Choose )
Shitty sounding monitor. You should be aiming for a 144Hz FreeSync or G-Sync. 27".
>Speakers Logitech S120 - 2 Channel Sound
$0. Absolute shit. Buy decent headphones or a proper Hi-Fi system.
>Webcam Logitech C-310 Webcam
Total shit. I've had a C910 for, like, five years.
>Optical Drive External DVD-RW Drive
1) Who needs optical in 2016. 2) WTF external???
>>54505621
Link to where I can buy? I know this whole board is cringing from my stupidity but I cant just spawn experience with this shit out of my ass
>>54505641
IM A FUCKING NEWFAG I NEED HELP, THATS WHY I MADE THIS SHIT THREAD
>>54505537
I priced these parts at a total of about 3000.
As others have mentioned, New Nvidia GPUs are about to come out. AMD zen processor and GPU also due to come out in a couple months. Even if you don't buy AMD the competition will force prices down a bit, you could save a ton of money.
>>54505726
I'm not gonna take money out of my savings, I'll be putting money aside for a bit, but how much longer do you think it'll be?

Kek. Kek to the max.
Nothing is worth 4444
No one going to help you here OP
Go try reposting on /diy/. Better folks there
My advice (assuming you're serious)
>Unless you really wanted some OC, never buy k series and Z board, waste of money
>Optical drive not necessary
>GPU wait for 1080/1070 and reap on the older cards price drops
>Storage go with 1TB HDD + 250GB SSD install your OS and demanding app on ssd, use HDD as cold storage
>Antivirus avast free is good enough
I can't give you any pricing advice though because I'm not a murican
>>54505537
>1x 980 Ti
>1x 1080p screen
>$3,784
Not even worth half of that.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JsVbsY
use integrated gpu till 1080 comes out
>>54505537
Absolutely not.
I had a good laugh off your picture, thank you.
>>54505691
Don't build your rig right now, trust me. The new polaris/pascal cards are literally just around the corner and will release next month. They'll run on 16nm/14nm FinFET which will be a huge jump from the 28nm process in current cards, and they'll run more efficiently cause of it. Wait just one more month then build your rig.
>>54509907
FUCK YOU. IM DOING IT.
>>54510987
Case labs case with clc coolers for both CPU and gpu is the only reason for a $3.7k build.
>>54510987
I hope you're joking OP, that build is a complete meme.
Build your own PC from pcpartpicker,
You don't need 32gb of RAM retard, 8 is fine, you can go for 16 to satisfy your autism but you'll never ever use that much, it's a waste of money,
get a modular psu from seasonic,
don't get a 980ti, wait for the new graphics cards being released,
you don't need that water cooling, an air cooler like the noctua nh-d15 outperforms the one you've chosen,
do not pay for an antivirus,
do NOT get razer products, they're overpriced, low quality and not durable at all, speakers and webcam suck, if you'd like a part guide visit logicalincrements.c om
>>54505537
>6700k
>980ti

>/g/ is NOT your consumer review site or tech support team
Holy kek
>>54513038
You guys not really helpful. I'm pulling the trigger!
>>54505565
if you're new to this, should you be spending thousands?
>>54505537
Holy shit OP, thanks for the keks
>>54513611
Wtf, they are being helpful. They're telling you you're overpaying, better stuff is coming out soon so you should wait, and that you're buying stuff you don't need. You've even gotten advice on what to buy. Stop being a dumb, ungrateful little shit. Kys please
So far it went up to $2315.48 and that's the cheapest.
Doesn't include the 24" FHD LED monitor(???-???), webcam(???-???), win 10($80-120), or the AV(~$50-100), or optical drive(~$20), or wireless router, or case (~$50).
Probably around $3000. That's BRAND NEW, though. Clip off at least 30% so a ~$2000 pc at best. ~2500 if you're generous.
I know this isn't the exact motherboard but I picked the most expensive option.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/RBJRNG
You can SLI a 980ti for $4k.
Anyway that list is all sorts of fucked up. Make one yourself for 2k or less. ~1500 should be enough for high end if you don't make jerking your epeen your life's purpose, e.g. very generously, ~$600gpu, ~$400cpu, ~200mobo, ~200 storage, ~100 case, ~120 psu, ~120ram, ~50 cooler. ~200 monitor, ~100 keyb/mouse (20 desu), ~100 windows (or 0). This adds up to 2200.
>>54514852
Ideally it's ~350gpu, ~350cpu, ~120 storage, ~70 case, ~100psu, ~20 cooler, ~200 monitor, ~20 keyb/mouse, ~150mobo i.e. ~1400+/-100.
>>54505537
Buy a Xeon. No optic drive. A router isn't your PC? Wait for the gtx 1080 to come out. Don't buy windows. Virus protection is retarded. You can do it for free. Get a higher resolution monitor. 2 channel is trash. Buy headphones. Buy a mic instead of a webcam. Now it's worth it
Alright OP, here's what you need to do.
1. Decide what peripherals you actually need. Keyboard and Mouse are obvious, but do you need ricer shit like razer? Do you need a microphone? Do you need headphones or speakers? Do you need a webcame? Buy those separately, and not from the same place you are buying your PC.
2. Decide on your target resolution. Do you want to do 1080p? Or do you want to do higher? If you want to do 1080p, a 980Ti is a huge waste of money.
3. Consider where you are being jewed. In this case, it's in shit you don't need (Anti virus, wireless adapter) and on things that are really more than you probably need and expensive (i7, 1 TB SSD) You'd be better off with a cheaper i5 and a cheaper 250 GB SSD for your OS and a 2+TB HDD.
If you want everything in that list, then that price seems about normal. It'd be easier to tell if gave an itemized invoice and not just a list of hardware + total price.
Being generous I'm assuming
$200 case
$200 mobo
$400 CPU
$250 RAM
$150 PSU
$30 DVD Drive
$100 Wireless
$700 GPU
$400 SSD
$100 CPU Cooler
$100 Windows
$100 Antivirus
$500 Monitor
$80 Mouse
$80 Keyboard
$100 Speakers
$50 Webcam
Total: $3440
for 3,784 you'd be overpaying by a lot

Are you baiting him? Can you stop? He might actually listen to you...
>>54515221
You're retarded

If you're new to this why are you spending almost $4000 on it? Are you going to be build it yourself?
>>54515524
Because i want it to be good.
>>54515829
Fuck off worthless troll shit.
>>54515829
The fuck are you going to play? There haven't been good games since like 2010. You can build a great computer for $1000, and an outstanding one for $2000
>>54515847
Why are you so rude? Read the thread, i said that i`m new to this.
>>54515923
CoD Infinite Warfare for example. I'm sick of aim assist on console.
>>54516324
k I'm done with this you are underage
come back in 4 years
>>54505537
no
pcpartpicker
go see yourself
>>54505647
it's less about stupidity and more about you being lazy and not wanting to do your own research
>>54516346
Do not reply to my thread if you have nothing to contribute please.
>>54516368
Do not browse 4chan if you are below the age of 18. Do your own research and stop wasting your mom's money. You don't need a $4000 pc to play cowwadooddy.
Youre getting jewed, your paying a lot for labor. You can do better piecing it together one component at a time, purchased through multiple vendors.
The drawback is u build it yourself (if you dont want to or a filthy casual) and time it takes to get each part (if youre shopping around deals).
If thats worth $800 then buy the pre-built. The cpu, mobo, and gpu are all capable.
>>54516368
Oh shit someone has autism
>>54516368
Shut the FUCK up. You can at least reply to some of the idiot morons who were baited by your shit thread.
>>54516384
>cowwadooddy
Wow you're an edgy fuck aren't you?
>>54516409
Literally everybody calls them that in here. If you weren't a 14 year old and were browsing for more than a week you'd know that they are the laughing stock of vidya.
Do some research and kill yourself.
>>54516368
Post memes
Do you have autism?
>>54516324
>CoD
>people well actually bite this bait.
>>54516387
To be honest i`m not paying for it. Its a gift on my birthday. I don't care too much about saving a little bit of money.
Should i close the thread? Any actual suggestions on the subject?
>>54516679
I'm sorry for your poor mother
