Hi I'm new to this website and I was wondering what would be the ultimate gaming/editing PC for around $2000. Also how much more would I have to spend for something like a gtx 690. I don't want SLI cause I heard theirs a few problems that come with that. Prefer Nvidia iswell.
Thanks to anyone who can help me

Okay this is for Australia, not everything is showing though in the price so you may need to find a few items yourself using whatever online stores you have there:

I will leave if you wanna go with a 670 or 690 up to you, 7970ghz is a good card.

A 690 would easily make you go over budget. For a single 1080p monitor a 690 is overkill.

A 690 is about 1000 bucks, about half your budget.

You'd be best off with a GTX 670 or a 7970ghz.
