I want a new gaming machine. I'm too lazy too research anything. Please help me decide.
1. Budget $2500
2. USA purchase
3. Prefer Intel cpu
4. Intend on using old hard drives. Want M.2 for the boot drive.
5. Will not overclock.
6. Want to play in the highest resolution my budget will allow.
7. Plan to build now.
8. Need windows and Blu Ray playback software.
 
Putting together a list is easy...
I see your budget is $1,000 less now, but there's coffee lake now as well.
