Hi Guys,

I am a Senior Graduating High school and my graduation present is going to be a new computer! I would prefer to build one but lack the knowledge of parts and just general education about how these things work. i live in the Us. i have a budget of 2,000$ Preferably the lower the better! its going to be used for gaming(Dark souls 3, dying light and possibly vr), Photoshop work and possibly even video editing in the near future! i am planning to run 1 monitor (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OKSEWL6/?tag=pcpapi-20) Saving up for it but if you have any recommendations feel free to suggest them! do not include monitor with price though, i'm saving up for it separately. No Need for Peripherals. Will need an Os. will also need it to be wifi ready i wont be working near my router. Preferably would like to stay in a theme of Red and Black or White and Black, as for a case i like the  Corsair Air 540 but feel free to use what you like! I am Upgrading because the current Laptop i am using is a Asus G46VW with a Dual core Intel I5-3230M Cpu @ 2.60GHz with 16Gb of DDR3 running at 1867 and 1 tb of storage and a GTX 660m, which has been through 4 years of travel and stores 100 Steam games and with newer games the quality isn't what it is supposed to be (preferably above 30 fps on low settings). if you have any questions or concerns feel free to reply i am open to any and all ideas! my idea was to use my laptop as a college laptop and move all my stuff on to my desktop ! 

i am looking forward to any all responses!

Thanks

If I were you I would wait and see what the Pascal and Polaris GPUs are like first; they could well save you some money and increase your performance.

As always, the lower the better!

Buy smart, save money. Here's mine. Feel free to switch parts as you need. This is a baseline recommendation! :)

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

I'd go with his build but I might suggest buying the 2133 G.Skill ram as you can get similar priced ram but doubled.
