Somewhat new to PC gaming. I have around a $2,000 budget, this included the pc and monitor. I'm looking to strictly game so Intel will probably be the best option. If anyone could make a build on pcpartpicker for me in that budget I'd greatly appreciate it. Not too sure where to start. Thanks a ton :)

Just to addon to this:

Please wait for 8700k, 6 cores on the mainstream platform while not being compatible with older 100 or 200 series motherboards.

WD Black is really loud while accessing files, and not that much faster than a blue in my experience. Then again, 2009 WD Black with 64MB cache.

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Was really wanting G-Sync, I heard a lot about it and how great it is. I may save up for that dell monitor I listed and get a cheap 1080p for now.

Monitor looks great, do you think 23.8 in is too small for 1440p? I feel like it is but i've never had any sort of gaming monitor

You're a hero lol. A little over budget but I can definitely make that work. Do you think the 1080 can match up to the 1440p 144 Hz?

Eh, 27" is more ideal but 24" is still fine.

 

Besides, the fact that it has a 144Hz refresh rate and G-Sync is the main reason why I chose it.

Wow, thanks a ton, seriously. I may mess around with cases a bit, I was initially debating between s340 elite and Meshify C but then was attracted to Phanteks so I'm all over the place lol. Thanks again, what a life saver.

As others have mentioned though I suggest you wait for the 8700k, should be a few weeks until it launches.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

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.

Yeah I will wait for sure. Surprised you managed to fit the 1080ti in there. How do you think the 8700K and new mobo will affect this build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ when it comes to the price?

Wrong link :D 

 

Chances are it may be a little more? Probably about $30-$50 more with extra CPU and mobo costs (7700k is on discount in some places right now), but it's probably well worth it considering you're getting 50% more cores.

Wrong link :D 

 

Chances are it may be a little more? Probably about $30-$50 more with extra CPU and mobo costs (7700k is on discount in some places right now), but it's probably well worth it considering you're getting 50% more cores.

Oops, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rt4Hcc sorry. Yeah i'm definitely gonna wait, just wasnt sure how the pricing was.

Actually you've gone with a more expensive ish z270 mobo so I'd say it would cost more like $30 extra compared to that. Chances are an 8700k will be around $350 and the z370 boards might be a little more or about the same as the current z270 ones, so starting at $100-$120 ish

As others have mentioned though I suggest you wait for the 8700k, should be a few weeks until it launches.

I wish I could fit that 1080 ti into this build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rt4Hcc but ugh not possible :(

Not bad at all, one thing that just crossed my mind is it selling out instantly. I really don't want to wait but it's the best choice to wait but I'd hate for it to take weeks till I can get the 8700K and mobo after they release.
