Wanna get a rig to play games 4K 60fps max settings and edit videos at 1080p, should I go prebuilt or build it myself? Also is it possible I can get a pc to do the above for under 2k(monitor included)?
Look towards an open box or refurb on newegg. Intel 8th gen or Ryzen 7 preferably, but if you find a 7th gen Core i7 build go for it.

Something like this when it hits open box should be about $1,700 or so:
ABS Battlebox Ultimate Bearcat Barrage NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Intel i7-8700K (3.70 GHz) 16 GB DDR4 240 GB SSD 1 TB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit ALI175 - Newegg.com

Not sure I would be aiming for 4K/60FPS tbh. That 1440P/144Hz is glorious :blessed:

Gonna need a 1080ti...

Depending on the types of games you play and if you use mods...maybe 2...

Ay bro you think it's still necessary to buy the extra warranty if I use my Amex to buy it? It comes with additional warranty with it off top, and I see the manufacturer also has a limited one...Let me know bruh!

Good lookin..
If it comes with additional warranty, then you're good.

The problem with Vega cards are their price.

Vega 64 performs like a GTX 1080 but costs as much as a 1080 Ti.

Get a 1080 Ti.

Ummm...if it's barely fitting in your case, I'm going to go ahead and assume you have a small case. Airflow is probably going to be a problem. Overclocking is probably going to be a bad idea. Test it, stock, with FurMark for 30 minutes, and then look at your temps. If you go above, say, 85c, don't overclock. Disclaimer: Furmark can easily burn your GPU. You gotta sit and watch the temps on the program. If you go past 85c, immediately stop the program. This is a serious warning. If your GPU burns up, don't say I didn't warn you :hubie:

Well I do have this super fancy fan and the stock fan and a case fan. But yea I think I need an even bigger case cause it ain’t like my case ain’t already big enough.

I need some help. I have a PC here(Laptop) that's suddenly asking for a password when it never had one. It's running Windows 10. Boom, i decide to create a boot CD/USB. I can't continue because the bios is set to UEFI. Disabling it and setting it to legacy lets me boot up to Hiren's boot CD but the password reset tool doesn't list the partitions presumably because UEFI isn't supported. Any tools or alternatives? I can't seem to find something.
Edit: I'll try this later.
(SOLVED!) How to Change Windows 10 Password
