Building new gaming PC.

[thenotoriousone]

Hello guys!

 

Since a couple of weeks, I am thinking about building a brand new gaming PC. I've got a 1440p monitor and I would like to be able to game in 60fps or above.The games I play the most are: Battlefield 4, GTA V, FIFA 15, Witcher 3 and some future AAA titles of course. I don't know much about building PCs, but I think you could help me. My budget is: €2,000 ( around 2,300$ ).

 

I appreciate your help in advance and hope your answers are going to be helpful.

 

Cheers and have a nice day

An i5 and 980 ti, like mentioned above, would do you just fine for a "Gaming Build."

 

However, you cannot ask someone to build you a complete build because there are some key points that you did not mention.

 

What is your limit on space? Do you prefer a big case or small case?

Do you plan to expand in the future? Plan to run 2 cards in SLI? Will the motherboard be a good choice if you decide to run two cards? Will it fit in your case? Are you going to watercool your GPU/CPU, or both? What do you prefer for storage? The usual 1 SSD and 1 HDD? What PSU will you need to run the entire build?

Big case. I don't like SLI, I'd rather use one the most powerful card I can fit in my budget. No watercooling. SSD for OS, HDD for games. I think 750W/850W would be plenty.
