Building a Gaming PC

[lMr_Ml]

Hi everyone!

I'd like to know everything about building a Gaming PC from scratch . my budget is 2000. My goal is to run a game named Black Desert on mid. 60frps of course

My ideal case is the thermaltake chaser 1. It looks neat lol. The GPU is a GTX 970 Nividia. Could I have picked a better GPU? What about the other parts like CPU and R.A.M?

Any tips ?

Yes the GTX970 is a very poor choice in a $2000 gaming build. You could very easily have a GTX1080 or TWO GTX1070s for that price.

should not go for the 970. if you have to, pump up more for 1060 instead.

What is your country and when are you planning on buying?

my budget is 2000.

2000 what? us dollars? canadian dollars? british pounds? Hyrule rupees? You need to specify also what country you're from, what sites do you prefer, do you need periferials or an OS?

Thank you for your opinion.

I have another question relating to GPUS. what mother board should I buy for my GTX1070? would it fit in my thermaltake chaser mk1? does case age matter? it seems fairly dated

What is your country and when are you planning on buying?

United States.Mid Next month. till then, stuck with my HP envy 700 desktop for gaming . *sigh* Its a nightmare for Black Desert.

my budget is 2000.

2000 what? us dollars? canadian dollars? british pounds? Hyrule rupees? You need to specify also what country you're from, what sites do you prefer, do you need periferials or an OS?

hyrule rup-...lol..US dollars

I'll give you a hint. I see 7/8/2016 as july the 8th. Not aug 7th

I don't have any prefered sites. Building A gaming pc is pretty new to me.

 

[lMr_Ml]

Sorry it looks like your thread got lost in the shuffle.



It would be extremely hard to spend $2000 on a gaming system. I wouldn't even bother with a GTX1080 unless you're going to be gaming at 4k, 144hz 1440p, or an ultra wide 1440p monitor.
