Going to make a new build below 2.5kCAD budget!

[Bincey]

Hey! Very soon i'm looking to build a new beast rig and i need some feedback on what parts i should buy to get the most performance possible keeping the price below 3k. Monitors or Peripherals don't need to be included, for this rig i'm looking to stream, edit/render, and play games on 60fps 1080p. But i need your guys help to pick my parts!

are u fine with watercooling?

[TheVox]

You might as well get a new monitor with that budget as your 1080p60hz will be your biggest bottleneck with a 3k build.

You don't need a $2.5K budget for a 1080p 60 FPS gaming / productivity build. Why not go for ~100 hz 1440p with that money?

You got a 240GB OS?

 

The build as it is hits his budget. Ofc a 1TB SSD would be nice in there but not worth cutting elsewhere

Lol, 2x GTX 1080 Ti for a system with a 1080p 60 hz monitor. I like your thinking, but OP can't really make use of even just one 1080 Ti, if they're sticking to 1080p 60 FPS. I think they ought to get one 1080 Ti, and also get a 120 hz+ 1440p monitor.

The man asked for a beast I delivered  He could always upgrade the monitor at a later date.

you don't just put the OS on the SSD. you want to fit as many games and programs you can on the SSD.

OS, main programs and main game(s) is what I put on. Say you play 2-3 games ALOT like every day. That's still only about 120GB.

Gaining seconds on the boot is not worth knee capping the system due to his monitor. With a 1080 or 1080Ti he could have max performance now and later down the line if he gets a higher res monitor.
