Balanced system for $2000

[Zeorth]

Budget and Location:

2000$. I live in Sweden so will be buying most parts from retailers here to avoid shipping taxes. 

Aim:

Gaming 

Peripherals: I have all 

Montiors: 2 1080p 144Hz 

 

I don’t know much about computer building since it’s my first build. So just make me a system on pcpartpicker or something for $2000 or less, that has no bottlenecks. (I’m aware bottlenecks are everywhere but try to avoid them)

Maybe say how much sweden currency the budget is, as prices for computer hardware are very different in each country, and it will be best to create the build in your country.

We'll need to use something other than the Swedish PCPP link unfortunately. There are literally 6 CPUs that are available to choose from on that version (that have prices) =/

 

 

OP, is that $2000 in Euros? Or $2000 USD converted from Euros?

Using US partpicker, $2000 is a dead zone budget. Not enough to go SLI, to much for a high end single card build, unless you build a custom water loop.

 

So with that in mind, here is a high end build using USD.

Has the possiblity to OC if you want to.

 

The other option you have is to go over $2000 with a SLI build.

Finaly if you want pure performance, no OC'ability, best bang for buck, no frills.

Add any case to your taste for the builds.

The pricing and availability varies by country, so a list made using PCPP US won't help a bit.

OP, just give the budget in SEK. For anyone making a list, prisjakt.nu is a price comparison tool with mostly decent filters.

20000 SEK but since everything is more expensive here I rounded it down to 2000 USD

Wut $2000 too much for single GPU build? 

 

i7-8700k 32GB DDR4 1TB SSD ~1080GPU good PSU. Thatll run you a bit of money but its balanced and fast.

I dont need 32 GB ram or a 1 TB SSD. I might as well dump that into more rgb or better setup or a better monitor then 1080p.

Into more RGB instead of better hardware. TY for making me laugh ?????

 I have a 1080 screen so I don’t need a 1080 Ti or that stuff. Besides RGB=2000% performance

Check my specs on my profile. I have some RGB myself but i also knew a 1TB SSD was a good idea back in 2016.

 

Id never recommend a 1080ti right before Turing comes out.
