NEW BUILD for 2000 USD

[voiha]

Hi,

 

(I'll be able to make the PC on my own, but having a second opinion will be in a great help if someone is interested in helping, which I'll be grateful for)

 

We have a budget of around 2 000USD which is around ( 3 500 BGN Bulgarian Lev). I would like to build a PC for my niece which will be primarily used for gaming. The problem that occurs is that here PC parts are relatively more expensive than in USA for example if a new GTX 1080 is 489$ (822 leva) here the same GPU is 1 283 leva (763USD). Which makes most of the budget builds not budget here. 

I would like to build her a PC that is around these specs
CPU: i7 8700(non k)
MB: (Doesn't matter as long it supports the CPU and DDR4 RAM with at least 2400MHz)
GPU: GTX 1070/1080
RAM: I'm not sure about the ram as it's really expensive right now I'm leaning towards Corsair vengeance lpx
PSU: Seasonic Focus plus gold 650W

 

Every help or tip will be appreciated.

You can use this website and translate it to English from Google chrome option as I shown on the picture.

You can use Google BGN to USD converter so you can see what's the price in US dollars

P.S: Recommendation of a good 1080p/1440p 144hz monitor would be helpful too!

Bulgaria is a part of EU, right? 
You could probably save a lot of money by buying parts at online stores and have them shipped to you.

s2417 from dell, 1440p 165hz TN monitor, really good, no need for corsair LPX, get standard 2x8gb corsair, 2666mhz is fine, 8700 with b360 mobo, some nvme drive of your choice (256gb+)  plus 1-2 tb WD HDD, regarding gpu... maybe 1070ti? used 1080?

Maybe a PcPartPicker list?

It is yes, but shipping costs would be aprox. the same as if I buy them from here (or you have some store in particular ?)

Why would he need to swap out the Corsair LPX ? It is usually priced ok. Also NVMe won't make much difference just for gaming. It would be cheaper to stick with a SATA SSD.

Not really worth it if you are mainly gaming. A SATA SSD is good enough.

it is worth it to me... even 10x reall speeds in comparison to sata, for high performance usage, gaming it is worth it

Caseking offers shipping for €20-25.
So you can get more durable parts from them (like CPU, CPU cooler, SSDs) and get case/motherboard from local dealers

The 10x speed doesn't mean it will load games/windows 10 times quicker though. You might see a couple of seconds difference at most depending on the game. If this was a workstation build then that would be different.
