For 1050 dollars you can get this baby.
Featuring the new i5-6600K skylake. With its 14nm lithography its up to 50% faster then its older generation. Also with 8Gb dual memory DDR4 you can get fast ram stuff or whatever. Altrough if you change the mobo you can also get cheaper ddr3.
For the glu the 290X is the AMD equivilant of the GTX Titan. A very powerfull card. Unless you want nvidia shadowplay or shield or whatever your shouls get a GTX 970 tough.
A 1Tb WD blue with a 240Gb SSD for boot and some games.
A cheap but amazing case. The NZXT S340 is undoubtly the best budget case out there. Altrough the window scratches p easy so look out for that.
And the PSU is a 600W fully modular 80+ gold so its more then enough.

problem is i live in a dorm and i don't have the spare time to assemble and set up/learn how to assemble a computer. i would definitely like to build a computer but now is not a good time, though i could probably get some help from my suitemates. i'll also have to get everything delivered as there is no good tech store close enough that I can get parts from. that includes hardware stores, should i need screws or etc.

if actually setting up the computer isn't particularly hard i could give it a go. what typically is the hardest part about building a rig? what kinds of tools do I need?

espio100:
Screws comes with the case or mobo so you dont need to buy one and the only thing you need a screwdriver. (Magnetic!)
Building a computer is like lego's. Youll find plenty of articles or videos on how to assemble it. And building one takes about 4 hours or so.

Imo the hardest part with my build was either getting the IO shield in my stuffty case or managing the cables after I was done
(Or putting the backplate back one because there is literally no room)

linus tech tips forums presents: how to mount a corsair water cooling kit on your GTX 980 Ti

step 1: drill a hole into PCB to line up mounting holes (even though instructions state that the last hole doesn't need to be lined up)

step 2: after realizing it isn't working, stick a screwdriver in the hole to "simulate soldering"
