First Gaming PC ($2,000 Budget)

[Odiua]

Hey! I’ve been doing most of my gaming on a pre-built Best Buy PC for the past couple of years. I’m looking forward to uograding my PC and was thinking of building it myself.

 

As the tittle says i have $2,000 USD budget, i’ll primarily use the computer for just gaming and some communication programs (Discord), currently only have one 1080p 144hz 1ms monitor (i like my competetive games) and don’t care about looks i basically want the most bang for ny buck possible. I’d love to make this PC as future proof as possible so i don’t have to upgrade anything in the near future. 

 

I dont need any perioherals and would need a windows 10 OS

 

Help me decide what parts to use!
