You don't want me picking your computer for you because I have expensive tastes. But dialing back a little I came up with this on PC part picker:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mNRDgw That includes monitor for $1746, so if you already have a monitor then knock off $286 making the machine sub $1500 before tax. Also you might be able to carry other components over from your old computer to your new one, like SSD/HD etc. as long as the parts are beefy enough to handle the newer specs. For example I brought over my old power supply because it was a 1000 watt PSU so I knew it could handle the power needed by the graphics card, processor, mobo etc. I also brought over my last m.2 SSD to add to my 1TB one that I bought to give me a backup drive of sorts. This build is just something I threw together, there's more work that goes into each individual part to see which is best based on reviews of the product. PC Part Picker is a great website for tinkering around with builds. I just built my new computer after I got taxes back and I spared very little expense. I would recommend looking up YouTube videos if you're going to compare pre-built vs. do it yourself. YouTube channels like Gamers Nexus/Pauls Hardware, BitWit, OC3D and JayzTwoCents have great content for builders and stick around certain price ranges as well. |

(btw another good all-in-one resource for n00b builders is https://www.wepc.com/) We’re looking for a good sub-$1K prebuilt rig in this thread though if you happen to see one.

Thanks for the input. I'm just going to pull the trigger on this one. Seems to be what I'm looking to purchase. |

All my Windows 10 machines have SSD's and haven't encountered a single issue. I had far greater problems with 7200 rpm drives and raid than i've had with SSD.

This is insanity. SSD is god. Failures are extremely rare. No SSD, no performance. |

Right, I remember being a DOS try hard too and then windows 3.1 came and went. No problems right? Windows 95 came and I begrudgingly adopted it. Really no other choice if you're a gamer.
