Hello! 

 

I want to buy a new pc becuse the one i have right now is strungling with games like BF3 even. 

There for i choose to investe alot of money once and then i have that one thing for a long while. 

 

Right now i need your guys help! 

 

I want u guys to come up the best computer for roughly 2k USD. 

 

F.A.Q

 

1. Overclocking?

Yes, Please.

 

2. Monitor?

Would love for it to support 4k but am probably only gonna go in 1080 or 1440p.

 

3.Rendering and video editing? 

Nope, not really into that kind of stuff..

 

4. Streaming?

Would love to have a computer that allows me to stream close to all games - Maybe not maxed out :)

 

Thanks!

With the remaining money, you are extremely close to affording a 4K monitor :)

yeah, you can probably max out most games at 1080p and stream OR play 4k at highish.

it's already 970 sli 

but if you want 980 sli you need to up your budget or little bit downgrade

290X Has same performance as 970 i choose 970 cause it's has maxwell and i'm pretty sure nvidia will fix the VRAM Issue soon

Im not a big fan of AMD however their GPU's have a great performance to price ratio and can beat the hell out of any game in SLI
