Whole gaming setup for $1400? (Including Desk, 2 monitors, keyboard, mouse)

MasonTheMighty · Dec 31, 2015

Hello, I need the best gaming setup possible for $1300-1350 (maybe even a little more) without a desk, and a total of $1400-1450 with a desk. Whether you pick one out or not. Anyways, I need 2 monitors, one preferrably with a small ms response time. Next, I need the gaming PC. I need it to probably stream a bit, and just play games on nice settings. I don't really want medium settings, because I'm putting a lot into the PC. Maybe a 700-800 budget for it? Finally, I need a mouse and keyboard. I already have a whole build and all laid out, so if you wanna make changes to the one I have, check here:

It's really over budget, but I know some ways to limit it down. So I just prefer you make a new one. Thanks everyone!

I don't see where you are going to save any money except maybe a little on the motherboard when it comes to the PC. Otherwise you can save a fair bit on the monitors unless you insist on BenQ. The biggest issue is that you blew like 15% of your budget on peripherals and still didn't have monitors. If you throw in the monitors you picked out, while being of good quality, you have used over 40% of your budget and don't have a single piece of PC hardware yet. This is like eating a microwave burrito off of fine china.

You're underbudget now and with a few tweaks there's more savings to be had, almost certainly enough for a small SSD as a system drive.

Thank you very much utgotye! I think your right. I guess when I think about 1ms and 2ms isn't a big difference in the end, and I could upgrade some day. I'm a fan of bigger monitors, but those will work just fine when I think about it. Thank you very much! I'm going to be getting it in April!
