Hello, i want to buy myself a gaming pc to replace my office computer i have upgraded with just a amd radeon hd 7790, i have already looked into alot of pc ideas and builds, i do not intend to build the pc on my own, i know it looks really easy but i prefer to have it professionally done. I have a 2000$ budget but i will need some of the money for a new monitor, keyboard and gaming mouse which i think will cost around 300-400$. I also need a recommendation of which website i should use to ''build'' and order my pc, i have used cyberpower so far and it looks like a really good option. My main specs ideas will be listed below.

CAS: CYBERPOWERPC X-Titan 200 Full Tower Gaming Case w/ USB 3.0, Fan Control, EZ Swap HDD Dock, Side Panel Window [-23] (Black Color)
CPU:Intel® Core™ i7-4820K Quad-Core 3.70 GHz 10MB Intel Smart Cache LGA2011 (All Venom OC Certified)
CS_FAN:Maximum 120MM Case Cooling Fans for your selected case [+9]
FAN:Asetek 550LC 120mm Liquid Cooling CPU Cooler - Enhance Cooling Performance (Single Standard 120MM Fan)
HDD:2TB (2TBx1) SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 64MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Drive)
MEMORY:16GB (4GBx4) DDR3/1866MHz Quad Channel Memory
MOTHERBOARD:GIGABYTE X79-UP4 ATX w/ Ultra Durable 5, GblAN, 4 GEn3 PCIe x16, 2 PCIe x1, 1 PC
POWERSUPPLY:700 Watts - Cooler Master i700 700W 80 Plus Bronze Certified Active PFC Power supply
VIDEO:AMD Radeon R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 Video Card (Dual Card (CrossFireX)

These are just my main ideas and the whole build comes around 1630$ Please feel free to post your own preferences and own ideas, i just really need some help with this.

Thanks in advance!

I know you said you don't wanna build your PC, but if you build your own you could get a pc with those parts for about 800 bucks. I really think you should look into building your own, it's easy and if you're worried you can get a friend to help or take the parts to your local computer place/store/shop. With that budget you can build yourself quite the sexy rig, and that cyberpower build is just overpriced and I hate to see you spend money that could be used on better hardware.

Alright! Il'l look into building it on my own for sure, but now i just need to find the best prices for the best gear, i really want some components that will run any game with really great performance, and that will run future games. I know the r9 270x crossfire beats the 280 and almost the 290 but i have my doubts on which gear i should use with the money i have since its cheaper to build it myself!

You;re paying 1630 dollars for a mid tier graphics card, it cant even run games on ultra, they've clearly made you think getting a i7 over a i5 equals better gaming performance, it's not. There is no difference in gaming between them both whatsoever, The cpu cooler isn't as good as a plain on air cooler, noctua air coolers are way better, don't bother getting a liquid cooler if you get mid or low end ones, only ones like 100i from corsair start to be 1 few degrees cooler than air coolers, and that's the top of the range ones. No ssd, for a 1630 dollar build, that is insane, I've seen 700 dollar builds with a ssd, 16gb is not needed, again, they may have tricked you into thinking more ram is better, it's not. 8gb is more than enough , the motherboard won't support any future cpu upgrades if I remember correctly AND WORST OF ALL, THIS IS IN CAPS CAUSE I CANNOT STRESS THIS, YOU HAVE A AMD STOCK CARD, IT IS KNOWN TO BE NOISY, LOUD AND VERY VERY BAD, the people at cyberpower have played a cruel trick on you, a cruel trick indeed

Yea it was my second choice as well, there's been alot of discussion about which is better AMD or Nvidia but i think its just personal preference. i think ill go with AMD, i do want my build to have a red feeling to it, and MSI does make them red, but thats just aestethics ;)

The hdd brand isn't specified, I can only imagine that it's a unbranded one, so it's bad, are you sure you can't buy the parts separately and take them down to your local pc repair shop or pc store and pay them like 50 dollars to build it for you?

Those are really nice choices actually, i was also looking at an intel core i7 4770k but i think i should go with the i5 instead, i dont think there's much of a difference except hyperthreading and such right?

www.pcpartpicker.com

This is the holy grail for novice builders, you'll know why when you go on it,
It lets you pick out different parts, tells you if they will all work/fit together, and they compare the prices of big retailers like dabs.com ,newegg, tigerdirect etc and tell you where the cheapest price for that part is, not to mention they have a star based rating system on parts so you'll know which parts to go for and which parts to avoid, and it also estimates how much power your pc needs, btw, I'm not sure your pc repair shops build pc's, best option would be to ask them and see if they build it for you, then negotiate a building price and take that away from your budget

For some tips to get you started, I'll give you a barebones component list, if you build your pc around my components, it'll run any game ultra for next few years

cpu: i5 4690k
motehrboard: You can choose
cpu cooler: coolermaster hyper evo 212 , or a noctua dh 14 if you wan to overclock massively
HDD : a good seagate barracude will do
SSD: A 128gb from samsung or intel
GPU: A 780 Ti would suit you as you have a healthy budget, but if you want to get a lower priced gpu then a r9 290x will be good aswell, just make sure to get aftermarket versions of either card, but I'd recommend you go for 780 ti
PSU: Only buy from evga, xfx or seasonic, there are other good power supply makers out there but these are the 3 main ones really, get a psu from them

Get the nzxt hue ;) It's like a led strip, but instead of one colour, you can change it to any colour you want, any time you want, and spend it on more case fans and fan controllers ;)
