    Hey thanks for the response. Yes the budget would be including the monitor. The main games I play are WoW, and Heroes of the Storm not much other than those two.

    Prices for 6GB GTX 1060 are not the best right now, you can get a GTX 1070 for a little over $400 now.

    Yes, USB or DVD-R/RW. You can also take the disk from your friend and use your own key.

    Thanks good to know. One last thing I believe I'm going to need a PCI card for wireless internet connection could you recommend one?

    Guess you mean PCI-e as PCI is almost completely irrelevant by now. Here. Although I would always recommend using cable for any gaming needs if it's possible.
