Building a gaming PC

JiggaJuicy · Aug 10, 2018

Hi I was wanting to build a new gaming pc for roughly around $1200 to $1500 I want something that would last me awhile and is easy to upgrade when needed also to over perform on high end games if that’s possible.

Sure. Do you need everything like a monitor, keyboard&mouse?

Why pair a Ryzen 5 2600 with a 1080 TI? If he even gonna consider a 1080 TI, it should be with an either a 2700x or coffee lake i7 8700k to take full advantage of those framerates.

A 2600X can easily handle higher FPS and the GTX 1080 ti, even a 8400 can keep pace with the 1080 ti at 4K/60hz if that's what the OP is trying to achieve.
