Hello,

I've built my own PC's in the past but it's been a while now. I'm out of the loop. So if things have changed and I'm better off with a pre-built PC fill me in hah.

I'm looking for something powerful, but a good value that will last me at least 3 years or so.
$1500.00 US budget. Just the PC with OS, no monitor or peripherals. In the past I bought most of my stuff on Newegg or Amazon.

50% Workstation - Microsoft Word/Excel, Google Drive, various web apps etc
50% Gaming - Witcher 3, XCom 2, maybe a fps here or there. Should be able to handle something like Destiny 2 when it releases.


I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
