1. Budget & Location

 

$2,500 USA

 

2. Aim

 

I will be gaming mainly, and I will be mostly playing games like the new Call of Duty and games like that.

 

3. Monitors

 

Most likely 2 1080p monitors.

 

4. Peripherals

 

 

I have everything except a decent gaming monitor and a mouse.

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

 

 

My current setup is a laptop that I paid $2,000 for, it has a 1060 and a i7 7700.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I am just trying to have a nice build, nothing too fancy, that is right around my price point. I really don't want to be much under the price goal, so as close as possible.

 

Thanks for the help!

Go with an i5. k if you want to overclock and if you won't non k.

take a 1060 or 1070 for dual 1080p

like 16gb ddr4 ram

SSD and HDD how you want

 

that's it. it would be around $1000 to $1200 and then you have enough money left to spend it on two 144Hz Monitors
