Building a new PC. Please help me with part selection. I followed the template from the sticky.
Approximate Purchase Date: The closer the better.
Budget Range: $1500-$2000, Before Rebates; After Shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Mostly gaming
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: frys.com (I'd prefer to buy retail)
Location: Phoenix, AZ
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Needs to run max settings and 144hz: CSGO with at least 350fps and Overwatch with at least 150fps.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Better gaming experience (better graphics and fps).
Include a list of any parts you have already selected with descriptively labeled links for parts:
I’m considering going with an I-7 6800K processor and GTX 1080 graphics card. Would I get better value going with an SLI setup with two graphics cards?
Thanks for your help!
