    Yo, So the black Friday is soon here. Most of any products will be on sale. I want a pc build that can handle games like csgo in max settings and still have a decent fps(around 120+). It has to be fast so an evo 850 ssd would be great.
    I don't know a lot of pc stuff, however i know the basics. If anyone can help me, that would be great :)

    P.S
    Must have 2 harddrives. One ssd so i can boot my pc up fast. the other one for my local files.
    i7 or i5 (no need for overclocking, but if can be added, please do)
    Nvidia graphic card. (not sure about 960 or 970)

    so US then?

    all of these from newegg.com
    cpu: Intel Core i5-4590 Haswell Quad-Core 3.3GHz
    motherboard: ASUS SABERTOOTH Z87
    ram: HyperX FURY 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
    gpu: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB
    case: CORSAIR Vengeance C70 gunmetal black mid-tower
    psu: CORSAIR RM650i 650W 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular (has corsair link basic)
    ssd: CORSAIR Force LS 120GB SSD
    hdd: WD BLACK SERIES 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache (the WD Black series are built for performance)
    current price:
    $1,172.92
    and it keeps to a nice black theme, if you want to remove the ugly side window with the fan holes you can buy replacement windows cheap made to fit the c70, you can get them in a number of colors and tints.

    if your waiting until the discounts and the bodies start dropping then it will be far cheaper (probably)

    Everything seems ok with the build that Derp Bag has come up with, but I'd personally swap out the z87 mobo for the MSI Z97 GAMING 5. Its cheaper on NewEgg and has a newer chipset incase you ever decided to upgrade.

    seems decent, good if you really want a high power headset that's hard to drive but don't want to fork out for a dac/amp combo, got nothing good to say for KILLER networking, aside from that sound choice and if its cheaper then go for it. but use the intel graphics and DO NOT install the GPU until you update the bios, the motherboards bios doesn't support the new 900 series gpu's so you have to update it here. however it may just be best to flash the bios anyway, instructions can be found on MSI's website for their motherboards.

    Stop buying motherboards that cost over a hundred quid...

    Everything else on that list is fine.

    If you're going to use an SSD as a boot drive having 120gb is kinda pointless, I'd buy a 60gb and use the money you save to buy a larger HDD.

    they actually have improved, a bit.

    120gb is just more space for OS updates and other programs that would be wanted to startup faster than on a hdd (steam, origin <-- UTTER HORSE SHITE) or games that take a long ass time to load with mods like GMod or arma (in some cases but arma is usually fast at that thing)
