Help needed

[Gankkya]

Hey bros so my friend recently wanted to join the pc master race but his budget is only 2k USD, so I 2as wondering if you guys could help me out with the parts and he also stated that the monitor be included in the 2k budget and not to worry about other peripherals since he only wanted the tower and monitor. 

 

Ps: (this build will not be completed till July since that was the date he was most comfortable with building it) , I don't that's what he said... 

 

His preferences are:

Nvidia

Cheap aesthetic case with decent airflow

16 GB ram

1 TB HDD 

24 inch wide curve monitor (preferably over 100 hz and with G-Sync if it's within the budget) 

Cheap liquid cooling for the CPU or if unavailable air cooling is also good

 

Thanks guys!

If he's first building in July, I'd wait with planning parts. Ryzen and Vega should be out by then and possibly other new hardware.

Well, considering AMD's Vega and Zen will be out then, he should wait because both Zen and Vega might outperform their counterparts, and therefore be the better choice. Liking one company so much as to exclusively buy their products over another company's products is just a bad idea.

only 2k usd? you guys in the US can buy a damn good rig for 2k usd. over here 14% tax gets put on everything (VAT) and then a crapton of import tax is added as well, Here in SA we pay over 640 usd for a 1070 and over 900 usd for a 1080. He can build a stellar rig for 2k
