Buying a PC, Help!

[Beam]

I'm looking to buy a computer after the Summer, and i need help finding where to buy it. I don't know very much about computer specs so i need help with customizing/building it on a site, and i need some good sites as well. It needs to ship to Canada finally.

~Needs/Uses:
- Gaming (Plays almost any game at highest settings, 60fps or better, really smooth gameplay with no hiccups.
- Able to run a good amount of things at once without slowing down (a game, browser with mutiple tabs, skype, any programs)
- Perform well when running video or picture editing softwares.
- stay cool without any risk of overheat.
- overall beast of a pc

~Budget: $2000ish

Thanks for all help, going into detail is what i want.

Yeah, but its easy as hell to do, its like putting together legos.

Even a 5 year old can do it, and so can an elderly person.

 

[Rambo]

I'll sell you parts of mine or maybe my whole pc. Pm I can also help you pick out the parts.

I think @Kowai's build is gr8, but mine is a bit better for the price (lol)

sorry @Kowai </3

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nPBQ23

to @Kowai:

I think the watercooling was a lil overkill imo

and @beam seems to not be a computer expert soo

that would be a mess

and I also felt he needed more memory bc he said he wants to do a lot of stuff at once

Ik 16 gigs is plenty, but 32 is great for multitasking (i wanted 24gb but I couldn't get it with my motherboard)

to @Beam:

1. is this 2k for the whole build (including mouse, monitor, etc.) or just the pc itself?
2. how experienced are you with building pcs?
3. What types of games/stuff are you going to do on this computer?

 

[Rambo]

Make sure you get a mechanical keyboard and a 144hz monitor if you don't there isn't even a point in building one.

Thanks for your input.

1. Ill be worrying about getting a mechanical keyboard and mouse after, i plan to spend like $1600-2000 on the PC itself, 2000 only being the final price with shipping and stuff
2. Zero experience.
3. I plan to play games such as starcraft, counterstrike, and many others as they come out, I dont want to get a new game and experience problems at high settnings. As for programs itll be smaller things/skype and maybe sony vegas for editing videos/photoshop for pics.

How would water cooling be a mess? ;-;

Its an AIO closed loop, its just as easy as putting on a regular CPU cooler.

Also I was going to get the H440 but honestly the define r5 is a bit better with more customization options like removable hard drive bays etc.

Also any day the x61 beats the h100i hands down.

He might as well get a custom waterloop that would be dope but chances are he might screw everything up.

Personally i dont want watercooling, just fans that work very well.

 

[Rambo]

Oh and I would just pirate windows, that would save you $100 that could go toward something else.

You and @Kowai should brainstorm to make me the beastyist PC for just under $2000 usd.
