Asking here instead of on some other forum because I am sure to follow up here, and possibly get feedback from people I know.
My computer is succumbing to Windows 10 upgrade glitches, and also dying down in general (6 years old).
I am going to need a new one, and I want to be able to play Fallout 4 when I do.
I'll also need the computer to play movies reliably, as well as do work (MS Office mostly).
Any people with advice in this are?
I want to stay under $1,000 if I can.
Is there a good place to get a reliable computer using a good graphics card (geforce 970) and processor (i7 over 3.5 GHz not overclocked)? It would need Windows 10 and budget left over for MS Office. Or is that not realistic?
I could try building one, but I've not done that before. I have a CoolerMaster HAF X case, and an SSD, but I'd need to replace the motherboard and pretty much all else. Might be too much risk trying to build my own.

Building a computer would be your best option, at least in my opinion, it would be a little harder to find what you want within your budget than just building a computer.
If you're going to build a computer it is not hard, just a matter of doing research, you have the graphics card and what not,

That is a VERY good set up, a little over budget but the graphics card he used costs like 500 dollars and you also have your processor so it should stay somewhat under the $1,000 mark, and there are a lot of add-ons that are not necessary so you should like I said before stay under the $1,000 mark.
Hope I helped

Thanks I'll look.
I do not have the graphics card or processor. What I meant was I'd like to make a build that included those two items but I don't think there's much I can do for under $1,000 if it's also going to have some software and a decent memory.
Going to do some searching. I've been using PCpartspicker to get some ideas too.

If you do very much gaming, building one is the thing to do. You can build a nice one for a grand.
Heck, a friend of mine got stuff for good deals on ebay, built his for about $700.
Just do a lot of research before you do.

Thanks, so far I've pretty much figured out which processor & graphics card I want.
I already have a CoolerMaster HAF X case with a Corsair power supply, and a 128GB ssd.
I'll just start researching which motherboard is best for those, and I'll get the next parts from there.

I would've agreed until he said fallout 4. They have some wicked mods on PC that us console gamers will never get to see unfortunately.Molson Beer (US1) said:NERRRRRRRRRDDDD

I'll happily be a nerd or geek if it means I get to play that game, it looks amazing. I don't have a console system, and GGE is pretty much the only game I play. Need something else.
I've learned more about computer components in the past couple weeks than I had known in the past ten years. Go back to your igloo and stop being jealous, Molson!!!

Wheeee! An update!
I have my new computer, just need to upgrade the case fans (and maybe cpu fan?) and get a nice monitor.
Figured I'd ask a few questions on here in case any computer-knowledgeable people want to help me out
Fans:
1. What 120mm case fans have you guys found to be decent ones for airflow and low noise? Trying to keep each fan below $25.
2. For cpu fans... is a coolermaster evo 212 fan good enough for an i7 6700k cpu if it's not overclocked? Asking because I already have it and it would be nice not to have to spend for something better.
Monitor:
I don't do FPS games much. Mostly looking for the viewing experience of a game, and to watch a movie here and there when the T.V. is otherwise occupied.
Been looking at the Asus VS239h-p. Any other monitors below $200 I should consider? I prefer an IPS panel not over 5ms refresh time, and under 27".
Ciao!
