That's easy, in theory but

Is that $2,200 US?
What resolution do you expect 1080p, 2K , 4K????
How many monitors do you want?
What games do you expect to play and how much 'eye candy' do you expect to use.

Single monitor 1080p is well under $1500, and you cannot afford good 4K, and many multi-monitors rigs will be out of budget too.

This is as close as I could get without wasting money, if you want you can spend more money to get parts of matching color, this is more of an outline of what I'd get. Also can get faster ram

@DonkeyOatie: yes, 2200 US. Sounds like I'm stuck with 2k then and 1 monitor hah. The games will be Total War: Warhammer, World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Paragon, and some others. I just want a machine that will be nice to play on with settings on Ultra. I would only use it for gaming. I don't care for eye candy in terms of the look of the PC. Just want it to shine in terms of game play.

@DustinV: Thank you very much sir. I appreciate your help.

you can get another monitor with the other money, i saw you said you already have peripherals.

Olifthorson · Mar 10, 2016

I never ran with 2 monitors before, maybe it's time to start. Thanks again Dustin!

DonkeyOatie · Mar 11, 2016

What monitor do you have? GPU resolution and capabilities needs to match monitor. I'm asking the questions to suggest a system that suits you, rather than one that suits me

There are a number of aspects of the system above that I would do differently, but I need more information. Will the system be used for anything stressful other than gaming, like streaming, recording, or editing (or 3D modelling, animation.....)

DustinV · Mar 11, 2016

He said he's going to do 2k and only
Plays games if you read his posts, what else would you change? Can't get a better gpu or cpu for gaming at that price

DonkeyOatie · Mar 11, 2016

If the OP actually has a 2K monitor. The OP said they have a monitor. I need to be sure it will run 2K. Some people include streaming and recording and editing in 'only gaming'. I read the posts and I want to make sure that the OP knows what they are doing. The 'Best Solution' has already been selected. I'm just offering a different perspective.
