Gaming Computer?
Is this good? Could I get something better for this price or lower? I know I can, so can you give me some builds?

What about a CPU Cooler? Thanks, though!
Ugh, I forgot something. Get the Hyper 212 Evo.
Will I need a secondary fan?
A second fan would increase airflow and cooling potential, but not by much and it would be much bigger.
Ok, thanks!

Randomness I'm sorry I have to make this post just to compliment you on your signature
I like it as well.
At this current moment in time, I use 8GB in my system. I say that if one does not think they'll need more than 8GB, they probably don't, but I say it's always a good idea to get a motherboard with four RAM slots (as opposed to two), because that can help extend the life of the system down the road in case Microsoft decides people who only web browse need 32GB of RAM at the least.
You kinda already do.
Ahem, IE, anyone?
Ahem, IE, anyone?
Yeah. Lol :P
Oh, silly me, I should have remembered how miserable IE is.
So there ya have it, if you use IE, or just want your computer to last longer down the road, be sure to get a motherboard with four RAM slots. Heheh.

Yeah
This should be fine.

I don't need hyper threading, and why the HECK would I want 64 GB of RAM?
Exactly what I was thinking! No need to put 64 GB of RAM in a computer unless it's a server!
Most servers dont even need that. Thats only necesary for servers with tons of people or really resource intensive plugins. (and you would have to have a lot of them..)
I concur.
Honestly, to me, that looks like more like a "how high can the price go" of a system instead of an actual educated decision towards a good computer build.

Also
What is this computer going to be used for?
Gaming, maybe some schoolwork.
What is your budget?
I don't really know, I'd like it to be cheaper ($800, Maybe) but I can go higher ($2500 might be good), then again, I'd really like something more in the middle ($1200-$1500)
US, not sure about the Microcenter.
Your country lets us know what sites you can order from. If you have a nearby Microcenter they have some great in-store only deals that you can take advantage of.
What is included in the budget?
Everything
Will you be overclocking?
Well, over clocking would be fine by me, but I really don't need it, so I don't care.
Will you be reusing any parts?
No. I only have an old computer and a Mac, and the old computers parts are junk, and you probably know about how Mac solders most of their parts down.
What OS do you want?
Dont have a copy, Windows 7 Home Premium is would be great. I'm fine with windows 8.1 though.
Any specific case preferences?
Dosent really matter, Im fine with anything, but black case with red, green, or blue backlighting would be good.
Any other special features that you want in the build?
Nothing special, but I'd like good wifi.

Also
What is this computer going to be used for?
List what you will be doing with your computer.
What is your budget?
Include amount and currency.
Where do you live? If in the US, do you have a nearby Microcenter?
Your country lets us know what sites you can order from. If you have a nearby Microcenter they have some great in-store only deals that you can take advantage of.
What is included in the budget?
Things like the tower, the OS, peripherals and monitors.
Will you be overclocking?
Overclocking will require different hardware than a non-overclocking build so we need to know this.
Will you be reusing any parts?
If you are reusing parts list them here.
What OS do you want?
Say which OS you want or say if you already have a copy of one.
Any specific case preferences?
Size, color, etc.
Any other special features that you want in the build?
Stuff like an SSD, large hard drive, RAID, and wifi[/quote]

This would absolutely DESTROY that build. If you're going to spend that much money, put it all on the rig.

Niceeee! Thanks, but I'm still open for builds. I'd kind of like for Randomness to find his way here
buy the whole thing piece by piece and save up to 20%
Well thats nice, I think I kind of already knew that though.
