Hello. I've been thinking about a system to build that can handle heavy gaming and medium recording/rendering. The reason I've made this post though is to ask if anyone could help me set up a build, hopefully on pcpartpicker ( www.pcpartpicker.com ) If anyone wants to help, I'd have to stay under $2000. It'd be nice for anyone to help. I don't need an ssd seeing i'm pretty patient and can wait 15 more seconds for a game to boot up. Thanks :)

You can try this, little more geared toward recording and rendering then gaming, though it does have the fastest single GPU from AMD, If you prefer Nvidia, you can swap out for a GTX780. (Motherboard supports both Crossfire and SLI, increase the power supply size for that though)

Sorry, round two without the watercooling and SSD per your request, left room for the GTX780Ti.
