Cheetos_Break wrote Would it be an issue if i wanted 16gb RAM instead of the 8 or will it do fine. Also i wanted LEDs inside how much would that be. The reason i was using CyberPower was they build it for you and i really don't have the time to do it myself right now
For gaming, 8GB is plenty. You can easily add another 8GB RAM easily if you want. You definitely have time to build a PC, it takes a morning, at most. CyberPower overcharge you for low-end and unbalanced rigs with low quality components. You can add an LED strip for a couple of dollars, they're everywhere. You can find them on eBay, NCIX, Amazon, NewEgg etc etc.

For gaming 8GB is more than enough right now, if you will be doing a lot of video editing or graphics/photoshop work more RAM will help. You can build a PC in 30 mins to an hour so it really won't take much of your time. If you insist on getting one built there are much better places than Cyberpower all they care about is making money where there might be someone local who do a better job for less.

Treyarched is on point, beat me to answering the OS question. I want to point out OP, if you're not going to overclock, you can save some money on the rig I suggested or get some better parts elsewhere. Also, with the rig I suggested, keep in mind that you can add a 2nd 970 in SLI whenever you want, or add in a PCIe SSD for dank speeds.

The build he posted is fine and will run pretty much everything maxed out @1080p, if you have zero plans to overclock you could get a cheaper mobo, a non K CPU and a cheaper cooler. If you were going to overclock it keep the build as it is.

You'll have a great rig. You've got room for great upgrades if you need 'em. For your requirements, it's perfect.
