- What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
- 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 Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.
- 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?
- If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
Motherboard
CPU
RAM
Keyboard
Mouse
Monitors
Tower (/case)
Hardrives/ssd's.
Really only replacing the GPU.
- Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
NO. Texas is one of the hottest states in the US, I do not need the extra heat.
- 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)
Can't think of anything
- 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?
- Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

[You can see what steam/GOG games I have/would want to play]
* Monitor(s) are:
BenQ EL2870U 28 inch 4K HDR Gaming Monitor
ASUS PB278Q 27 inch
Also, I am not a fanboy of any computer. I will consider AMD or Nvidia, EVGA, gigabyte, powercolor, sapphire, etc.
I would at the very least like a playable, enjoyable experience playing the games I've listed above at a good resolution, settings, and framerate.
Oh, and when I bought most of these components (I've had to replace a few hard drives) is April of 2013.
Random Question, does this motherboard let be put in an (NVME) SSD? If possible I may want to put in one of those small SSDs in (OS)
