New Build around $2000

[Shiro664]

So I have been wanting to build this for a while and just wanted some of your inputs and thoughts on the overall build of the PC. Mostly will be used for gaming and maybe the occasional streaming. Thanks.

I'd suggest you go with a non X Fury so you can fit a Free-sync display into the budget, it's going to be a much better experience overall compared to a plain 144hz display

1440p 144hz Free-sync $469 Just google to see if it has the full range for free-sync I believe it does

$10 more and you can get a 4k free-sync display instead

I also can't remember the last time I used a DVD drive

 

that PSU is overpriced

 

You could save almost $100 on the SSD by going with the EVO version

 

I also don't find noctua coolers to really be worth it, just get a hyper 212 evo
