Its time to upgrade i think.
What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using. Modded
Skyrim/fallout, lots of Diablo/Poe style games, Warhammer games, all of them. Movie watching.
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
Try to stay around $1000us
When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.
No hurry, next few months
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)
Just tower, not sure if if i can upgrade. Or if i should just build a new.
Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?
USA, South Dakota, No Microcenter
If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KTYrW4 Is my current computer https://www.newegg.com/black-corsair-graphite-series-atx-full-tower/p/N82E16811139048 I also have this tower sitting unused. I have duel monitors, one old guy for the web, and a 4k monitor for my games.
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
no overclocking
Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)
SSD for OS and main games, Large second drive for other game storage
What type of network connectivity do you need? (Wired and/or WiFi) If WiFi is needed and you would like to find the fastest match for your wireless router, please list any specifics.
Wired
Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?
I dont mind the micro i have now, but i definitely preferred the full tower when i had it. colors dont matter, would prefer less lights, since pc is in my room.
Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?
I have my own windows copy
Im not against reusing parts from the old pc, or building new, if i build new, i wipe the old pc and give it away.

Direct Message "Build Help" Offer Scams
A number of accounts are running spam-bots targeting this subreddit to send out PMs and DMs to all users who submit posts here. These accounts sometimes pose as teenagers offering to help design a build in exchange for a "donation" to help them build a rig of their own, various companies offering services through external websites, or even users just claiming to offer help via PM. Do not reply to these messages. These users are well known to engage in aggressive and harassing messaging behaviours to persuade users to accept help and to coerce them into sending money, regardless of whether the user actually wanted help or not. This subreddit thrives and grows on the volunteer efforts of every contributor who helps around here, often leaning and improving from seeing the work of others. If you receive any PM/DM messages related to your post here, please go to https://www.reddit.com/report and submit the username of the message sender under "This is spam." to help get these spam bot accounts permanently removed.
