New gaming rig $2,000 limit

[Brony]

So I'm going to be gaming with this computer and that's it, but high end games like Witcher 3 and Battlefront and so forth. 4K is kind of overpriced for what it is, so I'd be fine with upgrading to 1440p in place of my usual 1080p. With that being said, I'm also getting an Oculus Rift a year or so down the line, so that will need to run as well as it can if possible within the $2,000 budget. I still need a 1440p monitor to go with it, so because they are so expensive, I'm excluding it from the $2k limit and there isn't any budget for the monitor. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

If it were me, I would stick to 1080p 144hz and buy a gtx 1070. Much cheaper, but it's still good for the price.

I'd spend the extra bit for the 1700X and get a cheaper case but otherwise it's a great build imo

Going to the 1700X is fine, but really a cheaper case? You will get roasted so hard online if you have a case below $100 on a $2K build.

You can find beautiful cases below that, it's only the $30 and below that are not bad but not very nice looking. More like a plain computer. That's a legendary case he picked.

Oh I now, it's I think that case should be prioritized last and you should get the best components you can

 

 

I thinks it's because I've been a budget builder my whole life

What do you plan on doing with this pc? If you are just gaming I would get the i7 7700k but if you are doing other things like streaming and video editing I would get a r7 1700

Will this be able to run Witcher 3 and Battlefield 1 at max settings for a 1440p monitor?

[Brooksie359]

Then I would go with the 7700k as you have more than enough budget for it and can still get the best gpu out there.

Yeah it should be able too. If it can't then no computer can tbh.

yes, also get  Air 540 case, that should give you better airflow.

If you go with a GTX 1080Ti, take a look at this group buy to save $50-70 USD.

And why would you need 850W?

1080 tis use a lot of power while you are overclocking. If you were running an agressive overclock on the GPU and CPU you could pull 500W+ easy. 850 gives you some headroom if you ever wanted to add something like a second card.

I'm curious where do you see overclocked 1080Ti's drawing 500W @ load? The most I typically see is a 20% bump in consumption when overclocking. To hit 500W, that would be nearly a 70-80% bump in consumption over stock ~280W @ load.

 

Also you're not going to SLI 1080Ti's on that B350 board linked as not a single B350 board supports SLI. Crossfire Vega maybe?

I wasn't talking just about the card. I was talking about the entire PC. I have a 4790K and a 1080 ti overclocked and I pull over 600W full load.

You are not pulling over 600W with a single 1080 ti and i7.

 

System below shows an overclocked i7 6700K and 1080 ti and that pulls around 350W.
