Good gaming pc for $2000

[ThatGuy1602]

Hi I am planning to build a pc for around about $2000 dollars. I live in Australia so prices are different. I was planning to have a 4670k and a GTX 780 based system with 16gb of ram. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

Get a good quality power supply. By the way where are you thinking of purchasing your components from?

[ThatGuy1602]

Australia obviously and do you have any specific suggestions like specific branding of components(i.e. Asus, Gigabyte, etc.)

[Popadookie]

No, I mean the store?

He meant to ask whether you have a store preference. Also, does this include peripherals and OS?

[ThatGuy1602]

No specific store really as long as it is near Sydney.

Also no it does not include peripherals bu it does include the OS

Do you need a copy of Windows? Peripherals? Or just the tower?

@ThatGuy1602 You need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

 

Edit: Alright--you seem to have posted the same time I posted this --haha

Is the system just for gaming?

@nishank93 that's actually not that bad but is there room for upgradability?

And also do you think a gtx 780 is enough for 5760x1080 gaming at high res?

[nishank93]

@nishank93 that's actually not that bad but is there room for upgradability?

What kind of upgradability? If you are planning on SLI in the future, that isn't enough.

 

And also do you think a gtx 780 is enough for 5760x1080 gaming at high res?

If you're going for 3*1080p gaming, a 290X will be a better choice (better pixel fill rate).

[Popadookie]

And also do you think a gtx 780 is enough for 5760x1080 gaming at high res?

Depends what frames you want, and the games you play. For most use cases yes it will be fine.

[ThatGuy1602]

I found this website and they have reasonable prices and is quite near where I live http://www.pcdiy.com.au

[ThatGuy1602]

@Popadookie I ppln to play Crysis 3 and Battlefield 4 mostly and want to get reasonable feames maybe 40-60 if possible

[ThatGuy1602]

@nishank93 I know but I can't find any specific prices on the 290x yet and also I heard about the 780ti not being that much more expensive than a regular 780 and I will be buying this pc at around december to january

On PCCaseGear, the 290X+BF4 bundle was on sale for 699AUD. I can't say much about the 780Ti, but if an aftermarket 290X is available during the holidays and a 780 is not cheaper, I'd get a 290X.

[Kiwiandapple]

Plan later. prices drop alot. 

[ThatGuy1602]

@nishank93 ok thanks for the info I will consider the 290x and do you think that I should get windows 7 or 8 or 8.1

[ThatGuy1602]

@Kiwiandapple true but only gpu prices drop that much so having the rest planned will leave more money for the gpu

[nishank93]

@nishank93 ok thanks for the info I will consider the 290x and do you think that I should get windows 7 or 8 or 8.1

Definitely 8 or 8.1 Pro. I'm on 8.1 Pro right now, and I have no issues at all. It is faster than Windows 7 both in general use, and in most games. And if you've heard of the mouse acceleration issues in some games with 8.1, there are ghetto fixes available, and MS will (hopefully) fix it soon.

 

You can get rid of StartScreen pretty easily if you don't like that interface. There really isn't much point choosing Windows 7 with a brand new system.
