Additional Comments: This is my first PC build and although I am aware of how the different parts work in theory I am still pretty new to this. The rig is for both work and entertainment. I have been researching a bit for the past three days and these are the parts I have shortlisted. I would like the experts here to pitch in with their suggestions and opinions on how good are the parts, will they fair up with my needs and if they all are compatible. I do not have any leeway with the budget limit of 2000 dollars.
