[SOLVED] First PC build for gaming

[Cheesyjess]

I am looking to do my first PC build so I can play upcoming games without having to somehow get a PS5 or an XBOX Series X. I am looking to be able to play at least most games on high settings for example Cyberpunk 2077 and other upcoming games, so I need a PC powerful enough. I am looking to do a 2 monitor pc build mainly for gaming, able to do 1080P without problem and for below $2000. if you have any advice it would be appreciated, Thank you.

For your price range it would be best to buy a prebuild now adays saddly.... with the price of a nice gpu you will be paying about that.... alone.... I would recommend buying someone like a asus prebuilt and facorty resetting it completely first boot to get rid of all their crap tastic bloat ware. Work just the same as buy and building your own

Intel Core i5-11400F Review - The Best Rocket Lake

The Core i5-11400F is Intel's most affordable Rocket Lake processor. While its multiplier is locked, you can still adjust the power limit. Once we did that, the CPU ran over 15% faster and almost matched the Core i5-11600K. We also made an interesting discovery regarding Gear 1 vs. Gear 2.
