So I'm new to the PC gaming world (loving it). I just jumped outta console gaming and I was wondering if you guys here can help me build a computer that can handle either the:

- EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 Video Card

- EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB FTW ACX 2.0 Video Card

They are roughly $350 AUD.
I have a budget of $2000 AUD so please help me build something that can run Black ops 2 at a decent framerate.

Thanks.!

This is what you can build with that money. It doesnt include operating system, but it includes a decent monitor for gaming and a very good motherboard, with a fairly good CPU cooler so you can overclock if you want.

You can change the GPU to the EVGA SSC, if you want. But given the Red theme, I found the MSI better, as they are very close, in regards to performance.

 

Btw, has windows. You can SLI later, if you want.

Does that come with WiFi on it? I heard that you need some WiFi thing on it to connect to the Internet. (I don't use that Cable thingo)
I've remaded that build you suggested.
I only changed:
- From that water cooling to the fan that Heatghost suggested me.

- The memory chip thing to the HyperX Fury chips (supporting ESports)
- I changed the HDD and the SSD to a Kingston and a Samsung.

- I don't know about the power supply. I was watching one of linus's videos about the modular thingos and about the wattage. So do you mind suggesting me a power supply from PCCaseGear? (That is where I'm buying all the parts from)

I wonder why you'll only buy from one place...

 

Anyway, yes, you'll need a network adapter. Either a card to fit a PCI slot, or an external USB. I use the later.

 

As for the PSU... what's the problem?

So I've updatedthe partlist and there is the perma link to the built I want to go with. I've taken all your advice you've all kindly given but I'm stuck on what board to by. Comparsion link is down below. If you can suggest me a better board then that would be sick! WiFi install with it aswell!

With the PSU, Imakuni, While watching one of Linus videos. he was talking about PSU and to finding a PSU that is within the 50 - 70% thingo. I got worried that the one I had was a crappy one so I changed that to one that most people trusted.
