So, this will be my first time building a pc. My computer knowledge is what I would consider basic. I know about each of the parts that I need to buy, their basic functions, and a basic idea how to install them. I'm having troubles trying to decide what to buy. My knowledge of what will provide for my needs is lacking. I don't understand much about how to know if a processor/Gpu will give me what I'm looking for and will last me quite a while before becoming outdated.
My situation: I'm going to college this year as a freshman, I'll be working this summer and using some of my profits for building a new desktop. I plan to have about a $2000 budget. I am a heavy gamer, I play a few different MMO's and a lot of the big name games on PC, and want to be able to continue playing this next gen of games on their highest settings without any problem. I do not know if $2000 is enough for this, but I hope that it is.
The only parts that I have looked at so far is the intel i7-4930K and an evga geforce gtx 780 sc axc. These parts seem to be very high quality and may be a bit overboard for my needs, I'm not educated enough in this area to know.
Any help with parts for a complete build for my budget, or telling me if my current consideration for parts is overboard, or on target would be much appreciated,
Thanks.
