Hi everyone!
This is my very first gaming pc build and just wanted to get some advice on my build and anything that can make it a little cheaper but still perform very well at max settings.
This PC will mainly be used for gaming and i want it to be able to run at MAX settings on most games, if not all. I will also be overclocking the CPU in the future.
My budget is around the $2,000 mark, a little over isn't a worry however it'd be great if i could reduce the price but keep the performance.
Would you guys recommend the graphics card or maybe an SLI or crossfire build?
Also, i've read alot of other builds on this forum and a lot of people recommend the i5, however with the rise of these new consoles, a lot of game developers will be coding in multi-core (correct me if i'm wrong) and i don't mind spending the extra $100 to future proof my CPU.
Also if there is anything that isn't compatible or is a waste of money please tell me (like the motherboard, i was thinking of the Asus Z87-A for $199 instead of the gigabyte listed below, what are your thoughts? is the Gigabyte better for gaming?)
My current build:
