2000-3000$ monster... you design I build.

Jamesrd0301 · October 30, 2014

Hey there everyone!!! At the beginning of the new year I will be coming into a little extra cash and will be looking to build a new PC. I will be spending between 2-3k not sure yet, all I know is I wanna monster. I have always wanted an amazing rig and now I can finally make that happen. As I said I will have 2-3k to build. I need everything from the case to the mouse, give me your best I wanna know what you recommend for the excess of excess ... within my budget of course. I also need a Monitor, I will plan on getting at least a 1440p res Monitor. So I guess that's it I would love to know what you would like to build and what you would most recommend to make the most out of my budget. Btw I look forward to playing Witcher 3 Ultra 1440p so that is what this build must do. Again thank you very much and I look forward to seeing your thoughts.

TLDR Budget 2-3k, Purpose Kicking The Witcher 3's ass, Components *Everything* What do you recommend?

I got a bit carried away and forgot about the monitor at first so it's a bit over budget. You might want to SLI 970's instead and get dual monitors. Or even get a cheaper CPU cooler if you're not thinking about expanding your loop to GPUs.

Oh and I didn't think about X99, that might be possible too.

Not bad, tho that acer monitor isn't the 1440p lol its only 1080 but good look on the twinfrozer I've always been a fan of Msi's graphic cards..... And I would prob go for a 10k rpm Hard drive for storage.
