2014 Gaming PC

[killion]

1. Budget & Location
My budget is $2000. My location is Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

2. Aim
Gaming, movies, streaming.

3. Monitors
Just 1 monitor. I want to wait for G-Sync but not sure when that will be out. I want to play in 4k resolution.

 

4. Peripherals
Do not need keyboard, mouse, Monitor yes, but waiting for G-Sync. Windows yes.

5. Why are you upgrading?
The computer I'm using now is still using the LGA 775 socket,Core 2 Duo cpu, DDR2 memory (4gigs) and GTX 560 TI.

 

The problem I am running into is that I am wanting to build this PC sometime in 2014 but am not sure when is the best time. I want a PC that will have no problem running games like Star Citizen when it is released. These are the parts I have thus far.. http://pcpartpicker.comp/2rmoT

Any help would be appreciative.

 

Thanks

Waiting for this.

8 core Haswell-E, X99, DDR4 RAM.

Why would you get DDR4 just like DDR3 it will be worse than the previous gen at launch

We should be seeing some new goodies come out in the first 3-4 months of 2014.

That's when I suggest to start looking into a new build.

X99 motherboard would not be compatible with DDR3 RAM.

Oh I see

Unless you're building soon, plan later. Parts and prices change frequently.
