So basically i'm trying to put together a build i'm going to pull the trigger on within the next 2 weeks i have put this list together and have changed everything multiple times. my budget is $2500 but if you guys think i can add $300-$500 and i would have a huge difference in playing games then ill go for it. otherwise i just want to get the best gaming PC for my budget. I am planning on making this build last me through college since i am going in as a freshman within a few months. I appreciate the help guys :)

IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU SEE THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE BUILD PLEASE TELL ME I WANT TO MAKE THE BEST PC POSSIBLE
