[SOLVED] 1440p 120FPS Gaming PC

[byGrahtitude]

Hello,

I'm fairly new to this PC world as I watch a few youtube videos to learn some stuff but I don't know enough about building a pc. At work the guys talk about their gaming computers and they've recently discussed having gaming PC's to play during lunch. I'm interested in joining in and I was wondering what would be the most budget friendly 1440p 120 fluid FPS build for a game like Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. This is strictly for gaming, no streaming but maybe some editing as I solidworks, photoshop, and illustrator.

However, I won't worry about editing if it takes a toll on the budget friendly price. I'm hoping to spend no more than $650 max but I don't know if it's possible. My budget is open for discussion to purchase parts that will fit these specs. I'm fine with a mid tower or mini itx build.

Simple answer not possible for that budget.

Not possible, the Graphics Card alone would cost that much.

Great, thank you. I'll have to store some more cash away and come back with a reasonable budget price. Maybe I'll dumb it down to 1080p 120 FPS so I can get it a little sooner.

 

[King Dranzer]

If you can add lot more cash and bring it down to 1080p 120fps then it will be possible.

I started looking around and I ran into Logic Increments. I noticed they have a Rainbow Six Siege build in their recommendations that falls into the "very smooth" category. I was wondering what anyone's input is.

That will work.

Now I had a 1080 Ti but cut the price down a bit by looking at an RTX 2060 from LI. I don't want to lose too much but it did shave off quite a bit.

That will not work for 1440p 120fps but for that budget you can get 1080p 120fps

Ok, great. Maybe I'll just upgrade the video card down the road since it's a little out of my range. The RTX 2080 Ti's are just insane. The 1080 Ti SC2's I've found used on ebay but I'm a little skeptical.

I would say a new RTX 2080 would do it, they are almost as fast as the GTX 1080Ti.

An yeah, don't buy a used GPU these days.

Better suited for 1080p 120fps or 1440p 60fps gaming. Any game can hit 100fps+ ease at 1080p. For competitive gaming I recommend sticking to 1080p instead of 1440p.
