Best $2000 Gaming PC? (Coffee Lake Preffered)

alexandrugalu0 · Feb 21, 2018

What Gaming PC should i get for $2000? I'd like it to be a Coffee Lake build and i'm going to buy all the parts when the Graphics Cards prices go down a bit.

I would say ask again when GPU prices are reasonable. Otherwise the most effective way to get a high end gaming PC at the moment is to buy one from a vendor rather then building it.

They offer the best prices for GPUs, still high, but not unreasonably so. For around $2000 you can get something like an i5-8400 + GTX1070 in a complete system.

I really like the GTX 1080 GAMING X from MSI, will it be any different from the WINDFORCE from Gigabyte?

Aside from being $100 more at the moment, they would be quite similar in terms of performance. The Gaming X would certainly be a better candidate for overclocking, but the differences between cards is fairly minor. More comes down to how good your GPU and memory are.

Not really, unless you are going for some aesthetics and stuff. With current prices this is one of the cheapest unit around... https://www.outletpc.com/lg9126.html?utm_source=lg9126&utm_medium=shopping%2Bengine&utm_campaign=pcpartpicker&utm_content=Gigabyte%2B-%2BzOOS

Hmm, a few part changes (mostly a larger SSD) and this is not terrible:

Also poked around on XoticPC, they offer higher quality parts but at a slight premium over places like CyberPower.

Certainly other boutique PC builders to look at. Also don't rule out a high end gaming laptop in the $2000 price range.
