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 https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/72435-need-a-new-desktop-computer/#findComment-869181

I'm not spam posting, I'm just bored and love building computers on pc parts picker haha. Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/72435-need-a-new-desktop-computer/#findComment-869186

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 https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/72435-need-a-new-desktop-computer/#findComment-869218
