First PC Gaming build

Hello, 

 

This is my first time building a pc I live in USA and it has to be around 1750 to 2000 USD. Moslty it would be for playing games like Doom, Fallout4 with mods, Minecraft with ray tracing and Metro Exodus and light streaming. Using Blender and Discord at the same time and transferring files.

 

I need a main monitor because I have an old Vizio E221VA 1080p using as a side monitor. I need a copy of Windows, a TB of SSD and 2TB of HDD, a mid-tower windowed and some RBG and silent.

 

The reason I am upgrading because my Asus GL552VW is running out of space, the ports are no longer working and using type c usb port with an extender,is randomly crashing and tends to freeze up when transferring files.

Feel free to swap out the AIO for an air cooler (Noctua D15, Dark Rock Pro4, the usual) if you prefer air cooling

Wasn't sure on whether you wanted 1440p or 1080p, so I went with the more conservative option on the monitor

Hello,

You really don't need to spend that much on the PC itself.

Just get a 1440p ultra wide 100-120hz display probably

You can get a windows key for $5 on ebay

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Honestly, thank you guys for these builds and thank you BigRom about the monitor it is always hard to decided what monitor to get.

 

And I see you Seagate_surfer I will take it into consideration since I am buying it in parts and not all at once.

Hey @BigRom,

 

Got a question about the power supply, it seems they are not making it anymore or I have to wait till they restock. Do you know of an alternative power supply I could use or could I use BitFenix Whisper M 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply?

Go ahead, I mean 750W is overkill for a single GPU setup but sometimes you just gotta take what you're given. Bitfenix Whisper is top of the line stuff anyway.

 

Or you could try finding Corsair's RM650x, also a good unit.
