Gaming Pc build for 2017

[forReese]

I am looking into building my first Pc. I have a basic knowledge of all the parts and specifications that go into a gaming Pc, as well I am still learning. I want to build one for around $2,000, not sacrificing any performance and getting the best that I can for roughly that budget.

Fastest gaming cpu. One of the best coolers. One of the better z270 boards with wifi and bluetooth. Fastest graphics card after Titan. NVME SSD faster than normal SSD, and this is one of the fastest nvme ssd. Faster RAM for better overclocking. Top quality case and psu.

^ Nice build, personally I'm not a big fan of the Phantom though! If OP has a similar taste to mine, I'd make these two changes (One for the power supply, little bit better value for the price).

Makes sense. I have used Phantom though in one build, and it has a lot of room as well as good looks.
