Posted January 13, 2019 So I'm building my PC but I've ran into budgeting issues and being able to pick the appropriate parts because of my limited knowledge in brands, quality, and parts. Maybe you guy can help me out. 1. Budget & Location My budget is $2,000 USD. I'm located in California. 2. Aim I'll be using the PC for gaming ( I play RPG's FPS's and other single player games. I come from a competitive gaming background), photo editing, and online streaming. 3. Monitors I play on running two monitors. Right now I have a old BenQ RL2455H but I'll be upgrading to the Razer Raptor whenever that comes out. I won't be using more than those two monitors in the future. 4. Peripherals I still need to purchase a mouse and keyboard (I have no clue what to get), web camera, and microphone but I won't include those in my budget. 5. Extra Notes I have a preference for the "be quiet! - DARK BASE PRO 900 BLACK rev. 2 ATX Full Tower Case" but I'm always pen to suggestions because I honestly haven't looked at other cases. The reason I listed 3 storage drives is because I want to separate my storage for photos and games and put the OS and frequently used programs on the SSD. I'll link my part picker list below but if you have a completely new idea for the build, I'm always open for it. I'm also willing to go a bit over budget if need be. Thanks guys. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ntPBtg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 13, 2019 I thought you said your budget was $2,000. What the hell is a $565 motherboard doing in a $2,000 build? You can easily get a RTX 2080 by choosing a reasonable board and still have money left over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 13, 2019 Author I have no clue what I'm doing! Lol, I'm sorry but I thought it was a good motherboard because it also comes with a capture card since I'll be streaming. 2 minutes ago, badreg said: I thought you said your budget was $2,000.

Now I just want to understand the build. i.e I guess some sort of explanations on parts picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how did you do that so fast? haha basically cutting down on everything you spent so ludicrously on. get a pci-e capture card if you need it, not spend $300 more for a board more expensive than the GPU. 2 minutes ago, emosun said: some people have builds already assembled and they just barely change them to fit an ops need that wasn't from a build i assembled, it was taken from OP's list and edited.

The board supports that right? So when I buy one I can just "plug and play" if you will? Can you recommend any other cases compatible with that build?

Actually I like the case! I didn't know it came in other colors. I'll look for the black one. Your build seems very solid, I like it so I might just end up building it lol. Thank you!

There are hundreds of cases available for this computer as it is a standardized form factor, and aforementioned case is a mid tower case, the most common size of case.

But yes there are many compatible cases available such as this Cooler Master one. In search of the future, new tech, and exploring the universe! All under the cover of anonymity!

I decided to stick with the Defy R6 USB Type C Case. Weird thing I was wondering is why the white one cost almost 50 dollar more? Is it just because of the color popularity?
