Hey everyone, I'm looking to build my first PC. My budget is $2300 at most, I can go over some with taxes. I want this to be able to run Dayz, Arma 3, and Far Cry 4 on ultra settings and have great fps. If someone is able to build something for me, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Quick update: I won't be running multiple monitors.
 
I'm not going to price out a build for you right now as it's 4am where I live but I will say one thing. You won't find good deals on high end computer components. Newegg has already came out with it's black friday add and it's pretty sad for the high end (same every year). You might save $100 off the total build but that's it, don't expect a huge savings.

Also a budget of $2600 will get you a monster gaming PC that will crush any game. You don't need to spend that much unless you are going to run multiple monitors.

Ok.. that is a beast of a build.

I know its above your budget by around 100$.

If its too much for you, you can get only 1 gtx 980 for now, and SLI in the future when they will be alot cheaper, that will shave off 500$ from the build

-OR-

You can sli GTX 970's, and your total would come out to just under 2000$
