Hello, I am planning on build a brand new PC for gaming, watching movies and what not. As stated in the title, I have a 2000 - 2500$ budget to spend on the PC, and I'm looking to run games including heavily modded Skyrim (300+ mods w/ an ENB), Arma II: OA, Arma III, Far Cry 3, Metro: Last Light, and games to be released for the next few years on near-highest graphics at 1440p.
Specifications:
- I would need to sit at a smooth, steady framerate (55 or above - There is no way that I'd be able to play at a rough 30 FPS. I don't want to play games with a choppy stutter).
- The 1440p monitor needs to be included within the price range, although I should be able to judge about 100$ or so.
- I would prefer an Nvidia card, but I might be able to reconsider. Intel processor is a must, obviously.
- I would prefer to have a 256GB SSD, for my OS, modded Skyrim, and Arma II: OA.
- A wireless networking card included within the price range
- 16GB of RAM is preferable.
- Spacious case w/ room for an extra card for SLI
- I have a set of Astro A50's, so I would like somewhere to plug in the optical cable for better sound quality.
- The builds financial aim should be focused on power (CPU/GPU). I would also like to overclock.
- I would like to be able to fit a decent gaming keyboard/mouse into the budget as well, if possible.
- Along with your choices for parts, I would also like to see why you picked those parts specifically.
I appreciate any help I can get for my build. I'm planning on getting this computer within the next two months, so I have time to gain the money for it. If anyone can give me a good reason to raise/ lower the price range a little bit, for whatever reason, I would like to hear that as well, as I am not too knowledgeable when it comes to what I need for the PC itself.
I live in Alberta, Canada, so if my shipping prices could keep low, it'd be appreciated.
