Hello all. And thanks in advance for your I'm looking to build a high end pc that will last me for some time. Let me throw out I will need all software, a SSD, keyboard and mouse, and a monitor. I have no preference to buying a barebones and adding to it or building from scratch granted its within my budget.

I saw that there were some questions that needed answered for proper help so here we go

1. What*YOUR*PC will be*used for: Gaming

2. What*YOUR*budget*is: 1500 -2000

3.*What country*YOU*will be buying*YOUR*parts from: I stay in the US so id like to buy from here as well.

9.*WHEN*do you plan to build it: Within the next month or so.

If theres any other info needed lemme know and ill gladly provide it.

What is the motivation for buying high end? Do you intend to game at a high resolution (i.e. 30" monitor or surround 1080p monitors) or 120 Hz?

The reason I ask is that trying to get something that lasts a long time is not a good reason to buy high-end. This is because high-end parts are always on the wrong end of the price-performance curve. A better plan in that case is to buy midrange and set aside some money for upgrades.

Actually, if we factor in an OS and a nice 1440p monitor, there's only around $1000 left. He should take your $1000 build, add this $700 Dell U2713HM, grab Win7 Home Premium for $100, and call it a day.

I guess I missed they "I need everything" line when I originally posted. What you've got there is a fine plan, though you could certainly knock the monitor down to a 1080p and get a lot more longevity out of the PC.

Right, but I think that his extra budget room can account for some of that. Maybe bump the case up to a $100 Fractal R4 and get the CPU cooler? That brings him up to $1900. Then he could get a cheap mechanical keyboard and a gaming mouse (the Rosewill Cherry MX Red and a Logitech G400, for a total of $100).

That's a great guide, and everything I need is there right? And I don't think I want to spend 700 on a monitor lol. I just need a great one, not something that will put NASA out of business. Will that guide be updated weekly?

Maybe bring the monitor price down in between 300-400. I do want 16 gb of ram over 8, and 2 TB over 1 so ill need to save some funds for that. Also I don't think I saw a power supply in those post?

Spending the extra money on computer hardware isn't the way to go. Getting the very top end of stuff is very expensive and it is rapidly oudated and beaten, whereas monitors and a nice case can last across many builds.

16GB doesn't get you extra performance in gaming, and the 2TB drive is only like $15 more, so no need to cut other stuff.

the Corsair TX650 is a power supply.

THe monitor of your dreams is the achevia shimian posted above. Great resolution, good quality, maybe pay a little bit more and find the right e-bay auction that gives you a pre-screened monitor so that you know it will look right.
