Hey guys I am buying a gaming computer with a 1500$ US Dollar Budget. I want to be able to play, record, render, and upload recordings to Youtube. I don't want to only play- record Minecraft, but I want to play WOW and LOL. I want to be able to run I smoothly while recording. I don't need a mouse and keyboard, but I do need a Monitor, maybe a 22 HD LED+ inch. I DO NOT WANT TO BUILD it. no matter how easy or better it is. So please don't suggest any of that crap. Please Help and brand (but Dell) is acceptable. Thank You

Dell is crap when it comes to PC gaming and pretty much any prebuilt at $1500 is gonna be the price of a $800 custom built and also overpaying on a prebuilt instead of custom building and saving alot of money is just lazy
Well i wouldn't mind building it, but the first one i built was a pain in the a**, any ideas on Builds, Websites were i can get all parts and a monitor. So Anyone Know a really good build for rendering, recording, WOW, LOL, Destiny, MInecraft, Bioshock, ect.. Thanks

PC Part Picker is great. Also, do you want help building one? Just for a recommendation to help you out here's a 1500 dollar budget build I put together... http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Scarymonkeys/saved/3CFmP6
Any keyboard and mouse will do honestly..do you care about looks, or do you just want it cheap? And here's a decent monitor: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/cGC3CJ
Didn't do much research on the monitor, but I'm on a limited time right now to write this..that monitor was the the cheapest one I could find...lol.

Using words like "terrible build" don't make you seem smart, especially not when you don't provide any useful information yourself. While clearly scarymonkies still has quite a bit to learn about making builds, the build in question is not "terrible".
Really, the only things I can find fault with are the pairing of an unlocked processor with a locked motherboard, and Windows 7 professional (it's debatable whether the 290X is worth the extra money over the 290.) I can't really even attack the RAM, since it's only $5-10 more than 1600MHz kits and cheaper than all 2133MHz kits or higher excluding itself.
How so? I understand the problems now..but there's not actually very many.
I think a build is terrible when you have too much overpriced parts or unneeded parts like the k series CPU when you can get a regular series for cheaper.
Yeah, meant Windows 8. My problem with it wasn't the version, but rather the edition, as Windows 8.1 Professional has close to zero benefits over the standard version for non-professionals.
You think a build is terrible when it has literally 2 parts that could be slightly improved?
Well, that's odd, as I see you recommending slightly imperfect builds all the time. Do you think your own builds are terrible then?
Ah, making sure it wasn't glitching..seems to switch out lists on me sometimes.

Guys I Can I have a good build, it doesn't have to be Cheap, like I Said i have a 1500$ budget, and i also need a Monitor. PC part picker is a good site, but just give me the specs of a good build. How bout instead of arguing you guys could make a list and if you have something better just correct it. With a 1500 Dollar Budget, Im hoping to get a good reliable PC thank you. For the current Help. I really do Appreciate it. If i could get something better for a cheaper price let me know.

Actually, go for this..the GPU just came out, and it is a freaking beast..much lower voltage, very silent, and much better performance..for around the same price..http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TCdcBm

Otherwise get off your a** and build one yourself. There are great $1000 spec sheets and some have building guides with them.

Ok thanks
If you aren't overclocking you should get a 4790 not a 4790k.
