I've made a list so far, but getting one from the intelligent minds at SG would do me a better favor. My budget is anywhere up to $2000, but I rather not spend all my money. I'll be needing everything new except for fans and a case. Also, I want to go full millennial and get my dosage if RGB if you can spare it. Average consumer list: https://cart.microcenter.com/cart.aspx This list is pretty expensive, so everything can go except maybe for that nice bundle. Last note: If you can make the list on micro center that would be great, thanks. @John thoughts? 2 Edited June 20, 2019 by TheZZL Link to comment

I actually built my brother a computer last weekend that would fit every single one of your needs. Picked everything up at Microcenter for $690.59 and it plays CS:GO perfectly fine at 200+ FPS. I don't mean to judge character but I am assuming you will only be playing CS:GO. You definitely do not need to spend upwards of $2000 on a computer for that. I will provide a partlist on PCPartPicker. Microcenter has great bundle deals for AMD Mobos and CPUs.

Seems good, but I'm looking for a beefier build. This is more of an upgrade mind you. My current GPU and CPU are a GTX 970 and Intel i74400K. Link to comment
