BUDGET: How much are you going to spend on this PC?

Any preference for colour scheme? E.g. Black with White/Red/Blue/Green/Gold/etc…
Need any of these?

Speaker
Keyboard
Mouse
WiFi adapter

PC to be placed on table or floor?
Which internet provider plan and router are you using now?
Is your home in a relatively new apartment built in the past 8 years?
How far is your upcoming PC located from the router?
Any obstruction between router's and PC's path?

Not really picky about the colour and it'll most probably be placed on the floor, I'm not really sure if it can fit sideways on the table behind the monitor. Yup looking to add speakers too and I'm thinking of maybe using LAN cables because the router is in my living room and the computer is gonna be in my room. It's a new apartment, only 3 years old and I guess you can say the wall is the only obstacle? My price range is around 2k.

So can i presume you prefer for something small and slim enough to fit on the table as floor maybe abit inconvenient?

And your house also have the utility box that connects to your ONT and router?

What about OC? Do i need it?

With a requirement of slim fit PC, i won't recommend you to OC unless you know very well how to do it properly.
And it will cost another $250-300 for upgrade to suitable motherboard, additional cooler and K CPU which dilutes its benefits.

Oh I see, okay so let's say if I want to build a standard sized PC, what parts do you recommend? If it's possible can you suggest two builds? One for the cost of $1500 and the other for $2000

 

[Naiveoldman]

I say go for GTX 980.

Is there a lot of difference?

Little performance gain for another $200-300...
