Building a PC. Need help.

Good afternoon everybody. I am wondering can somebody build me a PC (pcpartpicker) for about $1500-$2000? The only thing I have is an OS and a 4TB HDD (though if you can include an SSD, it would be awesome). I prefer shopping at Newegg and B&H Photo. 

 

I need a KB&M (if your going to put in a mechanical keyboard, I prefer brown switches), speakers, headphones, and monitor included with this build.  I prefer Intel and NVidia, but will take AMD (if Intel/NVidia is not within the budget.)  Trying to get the most out of my money. Is it possible to build a PC that is 1080p/60fps (for the most part.).  Also, enough ram to handle my Google Chrome usage (Linus ain't got nothing on me :P...Seriously). Hope I'm not asking for too much. 

 

The games I would like to are

 

Witcher 3 (I know this is an intensive game and might not get the performance I want. I'm okay with that),

GTA V,

CSGO (I know it's not graphically intestive, but that's the only multiplayer game I play other than Payday. I play single player games mostly)

Far Cry series

Assassins Creed series (I know this might be difficult due to poor PC ports from Ubisoft)

 

 

Thank you for reading this. Hope to hear from you soon.

I goofed and edited it accordingly, sorry.

 

Thank you. I was wondering for the monitor, can I  get something with a HDMI port? I'm planning to buy a HDMI spliter for my consoles. I want my gaming things to be in one area. Sorry for the lack of explanation. It is a beastly machine otherwise. Also, I have 2 $100  gift cards for my birthday, so for the monitor, don't worry about going all out on it.  It will fit within my budget.

Thanx guys.  I kinda need an upgrade from my 675m...I'm experiencing massive heating issues with my laptop and want to upgrade :)

If you just want something with good performance and don't care for looks I can try to trim your dollar down and getcha as good as performance with not so great looks. Haha, You pay a pretty penny for good looks, you can get great performance if you don't care for looks.

Sure. As long as airflow is good and I won't get (that much) heating issues. Go right ahead :). Thank you.

Good afternoon everybody. I am wondering can somebody build me a PC (pcpartpicker) for about $1500-$2000? The only thing I have is an OS and a 4TB

The build includes a 1440p 144hz IPS free-sync display, and some room in the budget for whatever else.

It also has room for future crossfire, if you don't have anything else to buy, step up the GPU to a Fury possibly and drop the PSU a bit since you won't a 1000W for a single Fury.

 

You could also save a bit  by getting a cheaper case, but that case is rather nice

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Thank you. I think I'll look into the previous build. I'm going to need more PCI-E slots (I'm planning to add a couple of USB 3.0 port PCI-E cards to the build).

Sure thing :) You can take the builds given to you and tweak them too your liking, but with your budget be sure you have a 6700k or a 4790k or a 5820k and no doubtingly have a gtx 980ti. Everything else is up to your tastebuds =)

I guess I'm going to have fun with this lol. Thank you again. I'm a bit of a noob when picking out components. I needed a good starting place.
