2000$ PC Build

aks98 · Jul 26, 2014

I already have an AMD 290 gpu and a ThermalTake Level 10 gt Snow Edition case, but i am looking for some help on the rest of the components i should buy with a budget of 2000$. (This is my first time building a custom PC.)

heres a absolute top of the line including a os in case i can add more stuff i needed while not sacraficing performance or lower the price

I forgot to say that the graphics card and case need to be included in the budget, together they were 700$ so a budget left of 1300. The monitor, keyboard and mouse will NOT be included in this budget.

Hey Kunthakenthe, 32GB of ram just for gaming is a total overkill, 8-16GB is more than enough. That PSU is another overkill, you will never use that much power. I recommend going with a 850-1050W PSU. Also, that cooler is a waste of money, go for a Corsair or CM cooler.

While I agree that 32GB of ram is overkill, unless you are an engineer for NASA, I do not believe the PSU is overkill. He has a top of the line GPU, and if he ever decides to CFX, then he will have the power.

Actually, that is the exact same PSU I have for my CFX setup with two 270x. I had a XFX 750 watt PSU and my CFX setup literally burnt it up (began to smell like burning plastic and/or metal). So keep the PSU and just get 8GB of ram.

By the time you will use 32GB of ram, DDR4 Ram will be out. LOL

BTW, the cooler mentioned sucks also. Go with the CM Hyper Evo 212 like build o matic said.

You can change the cooler with a Cooler Master Hyper Evo. It's cheaper.
