Hi!
I have a budget around $2000 and I was looking to build a whole brand new PC.
WITHOUT accessories(No monitor, no mouse, etc.) just the case.
And I want to start building next weekend 15 February.
I found a video advice for what I think could be my new PC but this guy is using a pretty strange combination of components. And I don't want to trust just 1 opinion. So can I have some second opinions please?
Thanks!

Nice budget. Here's what I think will be one of the best components you can put together for this budget:

If I were to go no holds barred this is what I really wanted to recommend:

But this would just to be a world beater! Totally not in budget but let's you know how big I like to think.

The components selected that's within your budget will destroy most any machine that's not trying to be a world beater so I hope this helps! Plus, I strongly encourage you to play with the website; it's where I go to decide on configurations, upgrades, etc.
If you asked me just a few months ago I would have selected the Samsung Pro SSD but the latest benchmarks show the corsair ssd to be better; just so you know I'm not a corsair fanboy as I do see the strong corsair selections but if they make the best product that's who I'm going to recommend regardless of loyalty. Have fun!

Thanks,
