Need help with build

Eastrid · February 11, 2020

Okay so I am getting older and have been out of the loop with technology. I have $2,000 to spend. Hoping to send less then 2k but willing to toss a little more cash if it will help in the long run. Anyway I plan to do a lot of gaming/streaming as I use to have a good following in the past and even got invented to play some indie games on steam. I plan on running 2 graphics cards later down the road (most likely during black Friday time.) I have a link to Newegg for the parts I picked out. I am open to any changes and I would like to run a black/green build but that's not to important if I can save a little money by buying something that's not RBG. Anything thanks in advance to any help I that can get. Working with people with disabilities I normally don't have the cash to spoil myself and since I just got my tax return I want to get something that could possibly last 5 years or so.

The list is not viewable by others. Use pcpartpicker.com for your build list. Set the merchant to Newegg if you want to limit parts to that supplier. Use the BB button above the build list to copy & paste the list here.

Hey,

the newegg link doesn't work for me, but I'm not in the US and don't have an account, so that may be why. It'd be great if you could use pcpartpicker.com to compile a list and share that one here - it's easier for us to make adjustments.

Regarding two graphics cards: a new generation of Nvidia GPUs is rumored to be released later this year (there has been no official statement regarding that yet). So don't buy 2 GPUs now. Most people will advise against SLI anyway. I'd personally only go for SLI if I'm already using the best card there is out there. A single 2080 Ti will always be more reliable and perform more consistent and better than 2x 2080 for example.

Okay, sorry about that I shall try this again. Looks like there is an issue with the motherboard guess I will need to get a different one since I don't know how I shall update it to work with the CPU.

I tried to set it for Newegg but wouldn't work. I did have Amazon prime so maybe works better this way. haha

Oh okay did not know that guess I would do that then thanks for that information.
