New Build, need help

[Zacneedshelp]

Moving from console to PC and done a fair bit of research but I want more personalised advice. Looking to get a build that will last a while (3 years+) under $2000 - the lower with my needs the better obviously. Looking to make the most of a 144hz moniter (~150 frames) in FPS games like R6 siege, overwatch, CSGO and a new game coming out soon that I forgot lol (borderlands or something?). Wondering about cooling, AIO etc., best for durability and for a 4.5ghz overclock of an i5 8600k with rtx 2060? Not 100% on anything but was looking at those parts with z370 killer mobo, don’t know about ram. Any and all suggestions would be awesome, case, case fans, cpu cooler and ram, are especially appreciated. Cheers, Zac

Also, don’t worry ‘bout peripherals, got them sorted.

 this is what i would do... it will last considerably longer than a 8600k and a 2060 in terms of 144hz gaming performance.

Thereaper, I’m Aussie, as I stated, meaning that this is way out of my budget/price range. The US dollar is ~140% or $1.40 of an Aussie one :/. ~$1750 build for you is ~$2400 build for me D:. Thanks though! Are you pro air or pro liquid for cooling? Any other rig suggestions?

If you're playing mainly esports games, then you're better off saving money and going with a ryzen 2600 over the 8600k. And not to mention, according to this article Borderlands 3 loves AMD hardware: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/borderlands-3-release-date-availability-amd,38985.html

 

With that in mind, here's an AMD build that will do the job you want it to and last for ages:

Is that 1700 AUD?

[Zacneedshelp]

Oh, just saw, thanks!

[Zacneedshelp]

What about overclocking? Can’t with that Ryzen, won’t that limit your performance?

[Zacneedshelp]

Like with lower ghz

[Zacneedshelp]

Like, is this looking like a 144 frame setup?

this one is a bit better than the other one that was suggested... as it throws in a really nice set of fans, a good CPU cooler, and a m.2 ssd for speed. and 2002 AUD.

both of the ones posted. they both can drive 144hz easy. 

 

mine has a slightly better GPU (make). 

[Zacneedshelp]

Any tips on skimping out in your $2000 build? Like, ram down to 8gb or no, less than gold standard psu, non m.2 because I’m only really worried about in game performance etc.?

[Zacneedshelp]

Also keen on quiet equipment but if it’s not worth (i.e sacrificing budget that could go towards performance, let me know).

[Zacneedshelp]

Also, Rog Strix has worse clock than nitro +, better for overclocking or something?

All the Ryzen range are unlocked for overclocking

Resolution? Looking to overclock?
