max 2k € PC

[xReyn]

1. Budget & Location

Up to 2000€ (Germany)

2. Aim

Mainly for gaming (no high end 4k stuff, just normal 1080p gaming and some rendering)

3. Monitors

2-3 (no monitors needed yet)

4. Why are you upgrading?

The old pc is simply running old and its time for an upgrade

 

Hi everyone,

 

first of all, thank you for taking the time to read this and maybe helping me decide, what to build.

I want to build a pc for some not very high demanding games and also for some rendering stuff, like music-videos. Also i would like to build something that will last me for like 5 years (if this is possible).

I am a bit of a Nvidia and Intel fanboy, so please keep that in mind if you are posting something

I made some builds the last days, but really don't know what to go for and would like to have some different opinions, before posting, what i thought of buying....

 

Thanks for helping in advance

I would say drop one 1080 and add a good SSD, a Black WD and a better case and PSU.

I would do this with that money, getting water on the CPU will allow for those nice OC that KB has:

why not ? It'sless than 2 weeks before launch . Surely if OP has been sitting on an old platform for so long he can do so for two more weeks . Regardless of ryzen's performance , this is a 2K euro build here. Spending that kind of money shouldn't be done on a whim. Plus , seeing the recent leaks , it should turn out to be something special.

You don't need a GTX 1080 for 1080p gaming.

if you don't want 4k,  you could spend 1500 and get a top end gaming build, just please stay away from AMD... doesn't matter if it's new or not... You'll probably regret it..

 

Now I'm not Intel fanboy. I personally love all tech, I've built Intel and AMD systems, and the AMD systems are always budget builds... you have the money, don't invest in budget tech.
