Help me please

[Davlar]

So my current PC is getting old and I'am looking to upgrade, I really want to build my PC as it's something I've always wanted too do since I switched to PC but I've got no idea on what to buy, I have a budget of £1,500 which is roughly $2,000 (USD), any suggestions on what to get and in what order, my current setup is good but it is starting to get old as I got the PC in 2011 so rather than just get new parts I would rather get a new PC. So any suggestions would be appreciated on what parts and any tips on building the PC would be great thanks

Whatever you go for, get an SSD and a well known motherboard brand

aight. I'll throw some different stuff here for your convenience:

MOBO:

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO

RAM:

Kingston HyperX FURY 16gb buy more if you need it

GPU:

GeForce GTX 1080

PSU:

CX600M ATX Power Supply Corsair

CPU:

Intel Core i5-6500

The rest is more or less up to you but you should hit about your pricepoint.

This is a serious beast of a PC so if you dont need the horsepower you can tune it down a notch

[Ophidio]

Sweet, I'll try and come up with something. Might bea little difficult for 4k gaming at that price. Do you need a monitor and everything included or do you already have a 4k monitor to play on?

that's what I came up with for you, you'll need to choose a cooler for the chip but this can handle 4k definitely.

I'm not bashing on the Corsair CX series PSU's but you really shouldn't use anything below a Gold + rated PSU for a build like this. Unless it's a really badass Bronze unit from Seasonic. CX series are like the bottom of the barrel when it comes to bronze units.

I also just realized I made that build in USD so that's definitely going to be under budget for you, you might be able to put two GTX 1080's in it.

How about X99 ? The extra cpu cores will come in handy for video editing.

 

The 750W psu will allow for SLI. You can run a 4K monitor on a single GTX 1080 but you might have to lower some settings on certain games.
