Ok so when you ask for a new computer, details are needed as in:
-Price Range
-Purpose of Build (gaming, video processing, nothing but emails, etc)
-Is size a concern?
etc

If you're a gamer then you'll need to determine the specifications such as your ram size, HDD space, your graphics, processor the whole thing and pick one suitable for you and what won't fuck up after a couple of months.

What you need those would be a good RAM size such a short 12GB will do or 8GB will do. If you want good graphics go for ASUS or NVIDIA - both of which are good and reliable. Don't go to AMD unless you really have to.

Give me your budget and I'll build you one. I've built many other computers for people in the clan.

You designed, not built.
I actually am a system designer/builder and do custom watercooling GET ON MY LEVEL

So I pulled up a previous build I did before, made a few modifications by updating hardware, and here you go:

For soley gaming, this is pretty much the best before your just showing off.
It is a little trickey to build, as it is a compact as fuck system, cause the Core is a tiny case, but I like it. However, if you want full tower, I can give ya full tower.
Gave it a nice black theme as well
So for the reasonings behind my selection:
i5 7600k -> what else?
H60 -> Would normally go for H100, but tiny ass case
MSI Z270I GAMING PRO -> Should be pretty good for overclocking for an ITX, has built in WiFi, as you aint gonna be able to add a card in, and has an M.2 on the back
16GB HyperX Ram -> 16gb should be enough for you, HyperX simply for the color theme
Patriot Ignite M2 -> Not the fastest, but with 480 GB would be perfect to keep your most played games, and other documents as well as be a boot drive, at $180 its a steal
WD 2TB Black HDD -> well I use either WD or HGST, 2TB should be enough for you
EVGA GeForce 1080 FTW DT -> I personally love the FTW cards, gets a decent boost clock over the normal ones, also is fully black with a backplate
RMx 750W -> 750 seems like overkill, but I prefer to go one whole 'level' above (ie, this is a 500w PSU build, so I would grab a 750w) Fully Modular would be alot easier to build and cable manage as this is a tiny ass PC.
Core V1 -> One of my all time favorite cases for ITX builds. For an ITX, easy to build in, and many Windows to see the actual build.

Uhm, Stevie, I took both the A+ Cerification class and the test and got a 96% on it. I'm licensed to both fix computers and build them so..

I've built and fixed tons of PC's so calm yourself and stay on your LOA.

Ummm I intrened at Google, and have a fellowship lined up at CMU, which is only number 5 in the world for computer science. (Sources: http://www.collegechoice.net/rankings/b ... ce-degree/, http://www.topuniversities.com/universi ... hools-2016)
I mean, you got the A+ cert which I sure don't have, but I belive with a CMU Masters degree and and Google Internship, I would be alot more qualified.
Take it from a Google Executive: "Certs are a waste of time if you want to make anything above 50k, at that point your internship is whats important"
