Hey!

School is almost over, and I have enough money to buy a new pc setup. I am not a expert in setting up computers though, the highest I can go to is 1,600$ (must include a monitor). On the computer I would play: Minecraft, Overwatch, Sims and some other game. I am also thinking of starting my own youtube channel, which means that I need something with high graphics.

Max budget: 1600$ (MUST HAVE A MONITOR)

I am looking for a desktop that has already been built.

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

PC LINK

From my own experience, an i7 6700 and GTX 1060 6GB is PLENTY to play most recent games at high settings, if not Ultra.

Screen 1
screen 2

Take your pick. If you make use of the offer on the prebuilt, you'll have money to spare to get an external hard drive as additional storage for your videos

I think Ivain 's recommendation is good, but if you want a better CPU and a better looking case, you can go with ZackIsTheBest
btw building a computer will save a lot of money because cheaper parts and can result in a better computer than those 2 for under 1200

it depends on what the parts cost, my home-built PC had similar parts for a similar total price because I didnt have the patience to find the very cheapest parts

anything over $500 can run minecraft easily, tbh. It's overwatch that needs halfway decent graphics, and the recording that needs the CPU power
Well that works, unless he wants to save a little more money.

ivan will I get to play overwatch with ultra settings?
Why not build a PC, although you're not very experienced there are many build guides and I'm sure you can do it. Not only does this make the build cheaper, but it also opens up the possibility of using the new Ryzen CPU, which would be perfect for you with the extra cores and because you are recording.

Sorry if I am a bother, but could someone create me a "pcpartpicker" setup that is the same as this one?
