What games would you want to play? And what resolution if is your display you intend to use?

Honestly, I wouldn't start out in the $2k+ range. Solid options can be had for as little as $750..... and even higher end options shouldn't break the $2k mark excluding a monitor.

A couple of quick options - probably not the finished article I'd recommend, but gives you an idea.

For 1080p gaming, something like this would be a great option - and can allow you to OC and SLI in future if you wished..

And it can be brought down quite a bit with a B250 chipset, locked CPU etc...

Even for your best performance at 4K, you're only looking at ~$1,600 or so.

You did not give enough information to get a good build for gaming you always need to list the monitor your using or at least the resolution and refresh rate.
Just saying you need to buy a GTX 1080ti for 700 bucks is not the way to build a gaming PC if your using a single 1080p monitor you can cut that in half.

That why i'm asking for help .. i don't have any idea about pc parts, i read about it before but i still don't know anything.
My question if you buy pc parts for only gaming for maximum 3000 or less what the parts you will buy to make your computer run every game

"Run every game" can be achieved on even some pretty basic hardware.

Maxing everything shouldn't cost more than the $1,600 build I posted earlier.

Ultimately, the smarter use of your money is a strong foundation & upgrades over time (every year or two, or three) - things like a GPU can become dated over time. A ~$300 GPU now, following buy a new $300 GPU in 2-3 years time will always last you longer than a $600 today.

Same money spent over time, but more money in your pocket now, and better performance in the long-run.

Gotch...so this is how it works.
The parts you need to get are all listed below. This setup will last you for all games for the next 3yrs to 4yrs easily.
The processor comes with a stock cooler which has thermal compound applied on it, but the cooler i have included will give it better cooling which is good for longevity. Thats why the thermal compound has also been included.

This is our inhouse comprehensive guide on how to build the pc... http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/274745-31-step-step-g...
Recommend you to also watch some youtube build videos, specially from LinusTechTips and other similar channels.
Your Operating System should go into the SSD, but you do not need all of it. Create 2 partitions of the SSD. 100GB should suffice for your OS. The rest you can use for games and movies.

Let us know if you need any more assistance.

The parts are all good quality for their prices. If you scale up in quality, there is no upper limit. But i have built rigs with all of these parts and they perform quite well.

Bet it doesn't perform at all without a motherboard :na:

There's nothing overly "wrong" with any of those components - but there's definitely aspects I'd do differently:
*Any wifi adapter these days should really be an AC
*I'd opt for an H7 over a 212 Evo
*Not a fan of those Tesseract cases - they're really just a 'cheap' option.
*I'd drop the DVD drive

Nothing there that;'s actually going to change the 'quality' overall at all - and that's a great price for a 520W S12II.

Z270 board, with a non-K CPU, WIFI with fixed antennas, Cryorig has very good paste, the m9i is just 20 bucks, PSU would work but I would go for a bit newer platform, rubbish case, slow memory for a Z board. Decent monitor I would opt for a 2K with 60 refresh rate unless hes just playing twitch shooters.
All I'm saying is for a bit more money he could build better.

I'd be inclined to agree on the case (like I said, it's just a generic cheap case afterall).

In roughly the same pricepoint, there's SPEC_01 amd SPEC_o3, along with the 200R, 100R and Carbide from Corsair (all <$50), Thermaltake Core 2300, CM HAF 912 and NZXT Source 210 Elite's are all in the <$50 space too (some need rebates, of course).

2K IPS monitor.

Better than a WIFI card by a long way. A direct line is always best but this is the next best thing.

Good case with dust filters, Small SSD for the OS and programs , larger SSD for your main games. (I have all mine on a SSD for the quicker cut screen/ load times)
Some overkill on the power supply but it's just 9 bucks more than the 550 Watt so why not.

He has no idea about parts, and will probably never overclcok. An overclocking chip and the peripherals are a waste of money.
Also 2 ssd doesnt make sense.
 
If you want quality, check my previous build. Reposting again.
