hello ,
i'am looking forward to build a gaming pc and my budget is under 1800$.
I only use system for playing games and watching movies.
Please suggest a gaming pc config in my budget and it must include the monitor and cabinet(including all case fans).i dont need bluray drive
I'am always prefer intel processor because of good cooling and low power usage.if amd is good please suggest the config for amd processor too.
my prefences are

processor with more than 4 cores(intel)
nvidia graphics card with more than 2 gb memory
16 gb ram,2 tb harddsk,good looking computer case with support for more than 2 case fan
psu for your suggested graphics card

if you think amd is good for multicore gaming you must suggest the configaration for amd too.

Thank You in advance
