So I have this PC build that I made. It's a $2k budget with mouse keyboard and monitor included. With that said here is what I'm looking for in a desktop.

PC gaming. I want it to be able to run most new triple A titles at max to almost max settings and high framerates.

Being able to run game development software (I.g. Unity software) I plan on making a Video game in the coming years so I need this PC to multitask as well without missing a beat.

To he at least $2k. I do not mind going $300 over but that is the max.

So here is my build.

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler Motherboard: ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive and Corsair Force LS 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Graphics Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 290 4GB Vapor-X Video Card Case: Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case Power supply: Corsair Professional 750W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power SupplySupply Optical drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer Operating system: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit) Monitor: Asus PB278Q 27.0" Monitor Keyboard: Ducky DK9008 Shine 3 Blue LED Backlit (Red Cherry MX) Wired Standard Keyboard Mouse: Logitech G502 Wired Optical Mouse

For a grand total of: $2129.63
