Want to build a new gaming rig for my new home. Need all peripherals as well i.e. mouse, mouse pad, keyboard, good speakers with sub, monitor ,windows, headphones etc.

Would wanna avoid overclocking.

Wanna be able to play all latest games at highest graphics settings

Will probably be using it for work and would like to have dual screens, microsoft office (any package allows multiple pc installation without having to pay yearly sub?)

Would like to install a strong pcie asus wireless adapter

Wanna be able to stream, download (large storage) and watch high quality movies and dramas

Any device i can install to allow sharing of movie on my tv screen? e.g. to watch netflix

As i will be placing this in the living room would like the overall rig to look good (curve screens? Nice looking cpu case. Please feel free to intro nice looking gaming chairs and table as well)

5k budget need to cover desk/chair as well? if you want a build advice, best to indicate exact budget here, if not you may just get fantasy build advice that is free of budgeting constraints...

yayaya just the system budget. the rest don't count in. :D

probably 4-5k for the system alone is a good start, without monitor, mouse, keyboard etc.

Sorry sir, care to explain whats (1) means?

2) Full tower is ok. Whichever looks better

3) side windows

4) anesthetic if possible and not too expensive
