$2000 Gaming Build

Gregbenson · Dec 29, 2015

I'm planning on building a gaming pc for 1080p, max settings, 60fps+. I have picked out a monitor and mouse & keyboard (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7LyFxr)
SSD would be nice, this build is only for gaming. I play games like dayz, arma 3, bf4, etc. I don't need an os or optical drive. Pls halp

You can max games on Ultra at 1080p for much, much less money. I'd start by tossing that monitor. Overall, without an OS you are looking at 1300 dollars tops to max out 1080p Ultra. Others will link builds and show ya.

Hello! Here is a PC Build I have put together with an SSD, & it is garunteed to max out any game at 1080P (COMPLETELY overkill, but it will last a long time for 1080P gaming).

Unlocked i5 Cpu, motherboard and cooler complement it. Asus Radeon 390 is slightly better than an nVidia 970(most games, some games just favor nVidia), so that's included. 16gb's of DDR4 Ram, thinking future proofing here. 27" monitor @ 1080p. Also an IPS with good reviews. Standard HDD with SSD for OS and games. Pretty sexy case(my wife has one, and it's a pleasure to work on). Well reviewed, great price PSU.
