I have had this pc >http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=1170343&gclid=Cj0KEQiA0sq2BRDRt6Scrqj71vQBEiQ... for a while. I use after effects and Ps on it and play cs:go. Its prebuilt,but you can buy the part individually for ~$150 cheaper.

1000 I built mine for 700 and can get around 400 fps on some maps on csgo. Also I've never had any problems with any other more graphics intensive games

There's a lot of information needed before coming up with a parts list.

Here's are some questions to follow: (Diamond22's guide to all the specifications I need for your parts.)

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

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 Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the part 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.

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

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)

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 7 or 8.1 included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference for one or the other?

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I'd be happy to reply c=.

I would definitely recommend this computer, Ironside is great for all around usage.

I would recommend building it anyways.

Although the price per performance on that thing is pretty good, building has a lot of upsides.

-What if your computer goes wrong? If you buy your PC, it's going to be hard to look inside and see what the problem is. If you built it, you'll have a MUCH easier time.

-Just general knowledge, because PCs are interesting if you ask me.

-Customization. I can't stress enough that if you build your PC it's going to be cool because YOU built it.

-Saves money. Goes without saying.

-Very, very fun, if you ask me.

Also, with his budget, he has A LOT of space to work with.

Yeah sure he has a lot of money to work with but the computer I said is really good also it will save him 600$ from his budget which he can use to buy games or other things for his pc like a mouse keyboard things like that

600$ worth of peripherals? Are you kidding? You don't even need half that for a good mouse, keyboard and headset!

Logitech G502= 60-70$

Logitech G710+=100-120$

HyperX Cloud 2=100$

270$

Also, Buster already has a keyboard and mouse.

I didn't literally mean all that I'm saying that the pc is really good and he could probably save the rest of the money ;)

He'd want to get all that he can for his budget.

Here's a build that's 2000 USD and is really good compared to yours.

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/

Top of the line CPU, GPU, CPU cooler and motherboard,  along with a very good value case, 16 GB of Kingtson RAM, a 1 TB WD HDD and a 250 GB Samsung SSD. Also comes with a fully modular PSU, for better cable management and optionally to buy custom sleeved  cables, and Windows 10.
It's 18$ over his budget.

Spending $2,000 just to play Minecraft and CS:GO is a waste, such a high budget is enthusiast-level, I'd recommend you only spend $1,000 if you just want to play games and not really care too much about anything else.
