My first pc build

[chicagobears185]

Hello everybody,

 

I am planing to build my first pc. My budget is $2500 max. It will be a 1080p gaming pc and I will like to play all games maxed settings at about 60+ fps. I also will be planning to do some editing and rendering on my pc. Can you give me a build?

 

Thanks,

Do you need monitor, peripherals, OS?

$2500 is more towards 4k territory man. Lol.

Yes please

Left loads of room for peripherals, as they're really a personal choice. 

 

Get the OS from Reddit. You can create a bootable USB for Windows 8.1 or 10 using Microsoft's media creation tools.

^^ Solid build. Possibly an even larger PSU for extra overkill

Yep, could move up to 750W or 850W to allow loads of room for SLI and upgrades. There's room in the budget to add in a second monitor (1080p) and a larger SSD if OP wants.

Peripherals and everything. You should expect to be exceeding the limitations of the VG248QE since $2500 allows for a 1440p budget.

Are you sure you're budgeting for 1080p? You can get into 4k and 1440p with that budget. 

[roasted pinnaple]

its a little over budget make changes where you feel needed but this is made for 4k because $2500 is over kill for 1080 and is in 4k territory http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6nxVzy

[chicagobears185]

Everybody its fine if its 4k of 1440p
