Best gaming tower for around $2000. Any advice, personal opinions ?

[lenovoz580]

Hey,

Looking on getting a somewhat good gaming pc, as I do not have the time to build one, I would like to order one. I have around 2000$ put aside for such a computer. Does anyone have any good recommendations ??

And out of curiosity, is it better to have one GTX 1080Ti 11G or a dual GTX 1070 8G SLI setup in a pc ?

Thank you all

i had two 1080's in sli and then got tired of games not supporting sli and other sli related issues so i went with a single 1080 ti and i can tell you i wouldn't go back. my one 1080 ti does better in just about every game than the two 1080's did there was only a couple games where sli worked good enough for the 1080 sli to be better than one 1080 ti.

Sub $2000, with an OS. 750W quality and reliable PSU that will balance the load well if you OC CPU and GPU.

8700k with a 1080Ti.

Good looking and of high quality.

Ah, I misread your post. You mentioned you cannot build one.

Consider ORIGINPC then, or Falcon Northwest. You will have to go to their site and customize, however.

Some options:

However, the PSU's in these builds are of questionable quality.
