First Time PC Build

linusteachme · March 7, 2019

hello fellow ltt forumers i am here to seek advise on my first pc build. This pc is going to be mainly focused on gaming (fortnite/apex legends/league of legends) and streaming (OBS Studios) with some video editing and basic photo editing (PREMIERE/PHOTOSHOP). My budget for the build is $2000-$2500 CAD not including any peripherals. Im looking to use dual monitors and I would like the case to be a mid tower of any brand and would like it to have a window side panel. If there were to be any colours preferably would like it to be black and red mainly. I want the build to be intel based and my graphics to be either 1080ti or equivalent. im looking to have the money for the build over the next couple months. Thanks for your input and if ive left anything out ask away im 100% here for the input!

I would wait until you have all the money first, as new technology may come out ( ryzen 3000 series )

As Shreyas1 said, don't buy the parts in little bits. Wait to buy all of them together when you have ALL the money. Intel based streaming build + 2080 + 2 decent monitors are hard to fit in your budget. Ryzen 3000 is probably what you want imo.

Anyhow:
