He mentionned it had to be able to *run all the future games*, please read before spam posting every thread. Else Drakanen, look @ the pre-builds on Cyberpower and ibuypower https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer-Infinity-XLC https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Battlebox-2017-Ultimate If you want to build, you can inspire yourself with these. It should be even cheaper if you order part by part, maybe go above 2k$ because of the price difference aswell. With 2k, you'll be more than okay to run any games for the next decade. I'm a big fan of Intel cpus and nvidia gpus, and you can afford them with the budget you have. Use https://pcpartpicker.com/ to make builds and experts will be able to judge what to buy/what to not buy 1 Edited December 26, 2017 by roux Link to comment

I'm not spam posting, I'm just bored and love building computers on pc parts picker haha. Link to comment

For gaming go with higher clock speed over more cores, I would recommend going with the 17-6700k, and a water cooling aio loop, for overclocking, and dont use windows oem, its useless unless you own a server, get pro., i would also possibly go with 32 gigs of ram Link to comment
