Hi guys.

So basically i've been going around the internet looking for a gaming PC. My budget is 13000 Swedish kronor (2000$) and i would like to buy the parts from a Swedish retailer.

So this is what i have looked up:

CPU: Intel Core i5 4670k Haswell 4th generation.

CPU cooler:Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus

Mobo: MSI Z87 G45 Gaming

GPU: MSI Radeon R9 270x

Memory: Corsair Vengeance Low Profile Red CL9 2x4 GB

SSD: Samsung 840 evo 120 GB

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB

PSU: Corsair CX600m 600W

Case: Fractal Design Arc Midi R2

Monitor: Benq GL2450HM

Mice: Steelseries Rival

Headset: Steelseries Siberia V2

Keyboard: Steelseries 6Gv2 Red Edition

OS: Windows 7

Many off theese parts i have carefully tought about, like red and black color scheme, MSI parts more, Steelseries parts and so on. I will upgrade parts from time to time.

Now this build will run on a single monitor, may upgrade in the future but nothing i have planned.

And the reason behind me wanting to build this PC is because i wanted to do more intense things then i can on my laptop that is dead right now, literally. I want the PC to be focused gaming, very little recording and streaming. Now if you guys find anything cheaper but does not break my demands: red and black scheme, MSI parts and Steelseries peripherals please tell me. Every penny i can save would mean alot right now.

Is there a way for you to get a higher end gpu? The 270x is okay, but it is something that will hold that system back.

Yeah, I'd suggest get rid of the ssd.

I wouldn't get rid of the SSD...it'll make the system feel super fast. Switching from an HDD to an SSD was probably the single best performance increase I've felt.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that would blow my budget and it doesen't match my criteria. But a nice build though!
