Hello there.
I would like to know your opinions on the best gaming/workstation (basic graphic rendering, possibly streaming, multitasking) build you can make up for the budget of 2000$ (if you are in US) or 2200 Euro (if you are Europe based).

The reason for the budget differences is that in Europe we have about 20% increase in prices as compared to US. :)
Let me know of any quality builds you might come up with. :)

 

@Edit

Ah. Forgot to mention, i have all the peripherals (monitor, keyboar, mouse, speakers) already, so the only focus is the tower itself, so im tweaking the budget a bit. :)

Good one. :)
I also updated the thread a bit, since i dont need monitor/keyboard/mouse/speakers. :)

What do you think i could upgrade for that another 300-400$? I was considering stepping up to 6800K, do you think its worth it?
