My Next PC

[Amy Kay]

Budget (including currency): 2000 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: HITMAN 3, Minecraft, Cities Skylines 2, video editing, programming

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

This is my current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/UniFan/saved/2RLqbv

 

For starters, I already have some parts that I want, I plan to rip some parts from my current build (mainly the SSD, HDD, and DVD drive)

I plan on buying the parts around Black Friday and Cyber Monday to get the best value. I'm trying to target 1440p and 120+ fps. 

This is the current list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mDnRXR

Not a big expert, but it doesn't seem like the EVGA N1 is held in high regard. I would personally put down a bit more for a better PSU.

its a pretty good list all things considered, sales tax pushes it to $2457.49 with a dual monitor setup

Might got with that MSI monitor, that PSU, CPU, and keep the rest. Keeps it comfortably below 2k usd which works great for our budget. maybe i'll go with the MRB too for the extra usb port. thanks for recs !
