Hi, I have been saving up my paychecks and I now have about $2500 to spend on a desktop.
Ive always wanted to own a good gaming desktop. I am an avid PC gamer but I do not have the necessary intel to make my rig. When I go to custom pc websites i just end up picking the most expensive ones since I dont really know the difference.
Can someone please help me with a good PC for around $2500 (am slightly flexible on the budget)
Ideally I want 16gb or more RAM and at least 6GB of dedicated video.

Thanks.
Regards,
Shri
