need help on a new PC

[kotaoni]

Hi everyone, i´m planing on building my very first gaming PC, up until now i´ve played all my games on an old laptop and i finally decided to build a PC  i was hoping you guys could help me with some tips, since its going to be my first rig so i don´t know much about the hardware ill have to buy, i hope you guys can share a bit of your experience with me and help me out with this project.   

 

1. Budget & Location
i live in the US i´m planning on spending $1500 on just the components for the tower i have a separate budget for the case and peripherals.

2. Aim
i want to use the PC mostly for graphic intensive gaming

3. Monitors
i think i´ll only be using one

Heres a lightyears better build compared to everything else that has been suggested here.

 

1300$ and has a working freesync loop on a 21:9 IPS, 75hz monitor. (i suggest you research what gsync or freesync is if you dont know already)

 

The result will be 900 times more enjoyable gaming than on any of the other SLI systems with a crappy, small TN screen - that have been suggested. Seems some people want to show off how sick system they are able THINK UP, instead of actually caring for the gaming experience.

I saw you on another build dissing people's builds frankly it's not in the spirt of building

-edit also that monitor has no reviews and could be a piece of shit

-edit people need mass storage and a-data is not well known

If you choose politeness over the correct/best answer... then GOOD LUCK! You deserve to make your own mistakes.

 

- go research what freesync is

- additional 40$ TB hdd is out of the question i guess

That monitor is magnificent, and A-data is well known.

Do your research before you post.
