Hello!

 

Due to studies, last December I had to move to Germany and I was forced to sell my PC. Only keeping my Zotac 980Ti, 850 Watts POwer Supply and my SSD and HDD.
The past 2 months I was extremely busy studying and doing Visa paperwork so I haven't had time to do anything else.
Finally a calmer time has come and I want to build another pc, but I don't know which parts are the best to buy right now.

I'll use my PC just for Gaming, looking for 2 monitors ( 1x120Hz+ Monitor & 1 random cheap monitor) and a budget of $1500 although would prefer to spend about $1300.

I've got my eyes on this monitor: Asus VG248QE, but nothing else really. 
Any of you guys mind sending me on the right direction?

Do you have any color scheme you want to fit? As well, are you fine with waiting a month or so for AMD's Ryzen to release? It's highly possible AMD might release 8 core CPUs for around $400 so if you can wait that might be a good option.

 

Here's what I have so far. A CPU+mobo would probably cost around $600 and then a CPU cooler would be $50-$100, totaling to around $1400.

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Thanks,

I don't mind waiting a bit more, not in a rush and i really don't care about aesthetics. 
Performance is #1 priority.
