Hey guys i am wanting to buy/build my first gaming PC, i saw this up on pccasegear.com for $2400 and wanted to ask you guys what part i can downgrade to make the price drop to my budget $2000 but still keeping performance value (maybe the CPU to i5?). I would also like to know if this build can run Total war, Battlefield 1, Fallout 4 and other high graphical games at a smooth frame rate on high settings. thank you

Very powerful build. This is the best you can get.

Add the HDD down the lane when required. 275GB SSD will last you months before it runs out of space.

Get Windows from Kinguin. Been using it since last 1.7Yrs and have not faced any kind of problem and got all updates time to time. Note: Do not forget to buy Kinguin buyers protection for $5 extra. Get it you are good to go.

OP, this is an international site and people are going to miss the "pccasegear.com" in your post and think that your budget is 2000 USD when you probably meant 2000 AUD so please make that clearer next time around...

A lower clocked i7 6700 + RX 480 can totally score 70+ on minimum fps on 1080p@High. Either build will guarantee 60+ minimum on Ultra on most titles for at least a few years.

If you want to push your i7 as far as possible without increasing the budget too much and can overlook the not-uniform color build, replace the MSI Z270M Mortar with the ASROCK Z270 Extreme4 for ~20-30 AUD more.
