First tower help!!!!

[JJcarter21R]

Okay, so I want my first tower, and  I just spent a good hour browsing differnt websites offering pre-builts and I'm more lost now than anything really.

I don't know what is good, and what is bad.  I just want a  clear answer, what would be a good gaming computer within the budget of 2000 bucks.

I'm not a  graphics whore, I'm more of an FPS whore. I just want the games to run good, they don't need to look good. So if I need to make some cuts with the budget, I'm willing to cut there.

I'm very lost and I'm just looking for any help to point me in the right way
Thanks for any help you can give <3

First off, Welcome to the forum!

Second, do you have any specific companies you like more then others? 

Third, is there a possibility I could convince you to build your own? While the system will perform about the same for the budget (maybe slightly better), you will almost always get higher quality components when building it yourself.

To point you in the right way, every user on the forum is going to say to build your own, and you should

 

Its super easy and not a bad thing to know. If you can build a lego set, you can build a pc

 

For 2000 bucks you can get a 9700k and a 2080, which is fairly high end. What type of monitor do you intend playing on?

1)  Thank you so much! 

2) I pretty open  there

3) My fine motor skills are trashed. While building my own would be better, I  would most likely break something. Lol. I don't trust my self with such costly stuff. I know,  I would much rather build my own but oh well.

As I just now stated, my fine motor skills pretty much stop me from building my own.

As for monitor, I have a total of 3000$ in my tower fund, I'm going to look at monitors once I have a tower picked out

Are we talking generally clumsy or are we talking parkinsons or something? Even still, a friend to help out wouldn't be so bad, and with one person building, a pair of extra hands, even shaky hands, are useful.

In facs class it once took me 30 minutes to thread the needle, and that was my quickest time.

And I don't have friends irl

well thankfully building a PC doesn't require the precision of something that small, for the most part. 

I can make a new parts list that would be a lot easier to work with, how good are you with a screwdriver? That would be the only challenging thing.

wait would that part list you provided before work? If so i'll just jump the shark and do it

Oh yeah, that part list would all work out of box. PCPartPicker.com has a built in compatibility filter, so you'd have to disable it to put parts together that don't work.

The PC case has glass so if that's something you were worried about it can be changed.

Since fine motor skills are not in your wheelhouse, I'll skip the back and forth of "Build your own" vs buy a prebuilt, and just link one.
