$2100 gaming pc

[tanton1]

Hey guys, could anyone give me some build advice. I did some research on various components but I don't feel convenient enough to make my own build. I will use the PC for gaming and maybe watching some movies. I do not intent to overclock my build. The budget is around $2100 and everything needs to be shipped to the Netherlands. I also have some other questions that are a bit of topic but I didn't want to open other threads just for them.

1. I intent to use my old wifi adapter to make this build wireless. Could this cause any problems when starting the pc for the first time.
2. I also need to buy a monitor. Could anyone recommend me one. The budget for the monitor is around $500 (The monitor budget is not included in the overall budget.)

Thanks in advance

Hi,
I suggest you go to pcpartpicker.com and look at the build guides that can help you get a decent idea of what components you can get for that price. I recommend:
Intel -> https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/yQv6Mp/magnificent-intel-gaming-guide
AMD -> https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/dvQzK8/magnificent-amd-gaming-build
Use these as a template for your actual build.

The best solution for this is to watch videos about how to choose components and how to build. At first, it might seem very intimidating and trust me, I felt the same way too, but after a couple of days you will be able to choose components by yourself. If you still think that you don't want to choose the components yourself, take one of the build guides and buy the components.

About your 2 questions:
1. The wireless card shouldn't be a problem as long as it is PCIe and supports your operating system but I would recommend to build and install the OS and software with a LAN cable and then use the WLAN card because you'll probably have to download drivers for it.
2. A 144hz monitor is highly recommended for gaming because it just makes everything look smoother and boosts your gaming experience. The BenQ ZOWIE XL2430 is a good choice but you can also google "144hz gaming monitors".

I hope you found this helpful and wish you luck building your own PC.

Black/White themed build with RGB K/M. Asrock B350 motherboard BIOS should be updated to accept the newer 2000 series CPU's. Using the stock cooler you should be able to achieve a 3.7ghz or better overclock.

1. No issue unless the adapter doesn't have drivers for Windows 10.
2. Listed above.

WildCard's build is good - but, since the monitor budget is in addition to the overall budget, I'd suggest spending more on the monitor - you might consider a Gsync monitor such as the Acer Predator X34 - though they are EXPENSIVE.

That would also give you 3440x1440 resolution, if you desired it. However, that would put you in the near $2500.00 range BEFORE shipping..... so, that could be a possible problem.

At a lower resolution, a less expensive option would be the LG 34UC89G-B, 34 inch at 2560x1080. Still notably more expensive than the one WildCard listed, but that's the price that's paid to get G-sync.

There are a few other models worth considering as well - I basically was just taking a very brief glimpse at monitors that have gsync AND are either 3440x1440 or 2560x1080.


Disclaimer: I use an Nvidia card with a monitor that does not have Gsync.

 

[WildCard999]

I considered Gsync but spending that extra $200 on that feature seemed kind of pointless IMHO, especially considering that the 1070 ti should keep the FPS quite high where vsync would keep everything smooth. And while I do agree with 3440x1440P it's going to come down to the games the OP plays as you can find the 75hz versions for around $500. For FPS such as COD or BF I'd take the 144hz (fastest for 3440x1440 is 120hz), for more casual/visually stunning games then I usually up the graphics and keep the FPS between 75-100 as anything higher isn't exactly noticeable and makes the GPU work harder then needed which leads to higher temps and louder fans.

 

[King_V]

I'm pretty much in agreement - though, I do mention the possibility.

Turns out, I've butted heads with a few people who MUST have 144fps or higher when I said "uh, the human eye doesn't exactly work that way"

As it is, I vsync things at 60fps with my 1080 on a 3840x1600 monitor. I might actually use the 75Hz setting at some point, but haven't yet felt the need to.

That is $500 over budget.

WildCard has a really good build.

Is your monitor included in the budget? Do you need an OS?

Here are two builds, one in the US and another in the Netherlands. I have kept $2100 constant as the budget and converted the currency when needed:

Way below budget. 8600k and the Motherboard has WiFi Built in so you do not need the WiFi adapter, making things less cluttered and more streamlined. GTX 1080 and PSU is quality. Includes OS and Monitor is 144Hz 1440p 1ms.

Both of these builds have WiFi built in and have OS. If you do not need the OS you can remove it save costs and use the money for a better GPU or a bigger SSD or a better monitor. PSU's in both of these builds are quality units.

Ah apologies, misread that as included in the budget.

Therefore, since the 500 is not in the budget, you can get much better stuff.
