Settingup my gaming set-up

[CDG728]

Okay guys so I have a quick question as I am not very tech savvy.
I want a windows OS, but idk which one. thats my first question: What OS do I use?

I have a credit line with Aarons, and Conns. (rn I have a MacBook Pro)
I want to have a setup with probably 2 monitors.
anyway what CPU do you recommend I buy from either one of those places, I dont need it to be the cheapest possible, but I want to achieve my desired set-up for as cheap as possible, make sense? I do need it to have a high capacity, im going to be streaming, recording, and browsing.
I hate loud fans, but obviously dont need it over heating.
what monitor do you suggest?
what monitor mount do you suggest?
how do you recommend I prevent cable clutter, and any cheap desks?

If I missed any questions that would be needed to better assist me is because I was unaware, so please ask below so you can give me an accurate suggestion.

Well I suggest anything with an i7 or better. Graphics card? Anything better than Gtx 1060. Monitor? Possibly a dual one at 144hz. The real question is would you prefer a desktop or laptop? I'm currently using an Acer Predator Helios 300 (2018) and can max out 1080p on Ultra in any video game. If you're looking for a good laptop I suggest anything in the Acer Predator Helios line, or my personal favorite the Razer Blade Stealth. Main difference between the 2 is the Razer is 4k. Which honestly isn't necessary for close-up gaming as the pixel ratio visually isn't noticable if you game close to your screen.

Another reason why a desktop may be your better choice is because you can interchange/upgrade the hardware. Which unfortunately isn't do-able on laptops. So if you grab a laptop, the processor and graphics card cannot be upgraded.

I just recently built my gaming setup, I went off the rails when it came to budget. Just get an i5 for now it'll be steady and get the job done, monitors look for something around ASUS they're middle in price comparatively. In terms of a desk I'd definitely order online IKEA, it's easy in terms of customizing plus really not that expensive.

Any Windows 10 OS is fine.

i5-7400 at the Minimum. Depending on what you want to stream and what not, this can potentially do it for you.

However, if you go the cheap route, a few months down the line you will more than likely regret it. What's your budget?

A couple of years ago I had to get rid of my gaming rig, and this go around I bought a pre built. It was good for the money, but I've upgraded basically the whole thing.

PLEASE DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM CONNS OR AARONS.

Seriously, stay far away. Open a line of credit with Amazon, Best Buy or Newegg if you're wanting to finance it all.

CPU - i7-9700k
GPU - RTX 2060 (2070 or 2080 if budget permits)
RAM - 16gb Minimum

My main display is a MSI 1ms 144hz

The pre-built I bought was an HP Omen, around $850-$900 at the time.

It came with the i5, GTX 1060 and 8gb RAM.

Honestly my man, it all comes down to what you're willing to spend. I'll be happy to help you out if possible.
