Gaming PC on 2700-2900 dollar budjet

[Akseli1]

Hey, I've saved up for a new gaming pc and the budjet would be 2700-2900 dollars. I'm going to be playing games like battlefield 4 on the pc, so could you suggest me some specs, because I'm clueless and I don't know anything about building pc's

ps. I already have a mouse, keyboard and headset.

Thats a serious build for that price range, were you thinking something like a 1440p monitor and a custom liquid cooling loop for say 2 gpus and a cpu?

I choose the wrong ram. Here is the 16gb version

You can go with 8gb but with your budget i would opt for 16gb.

With that budget you can do 780 in SLI and a nice 1440p monitor.

Boss Cat, I like your setup, but shouldn't i just buy everything from amazon, because of the free shipping, since I live in Hong Kong :/

 

[Boss Cat Johnson]

Those are the best prices from U.S. merchants so i don't know about Hong Kong. I don't know if you could buy it all from amazon or not since amazon might not have some of those parts but you could deftly find similar alternatives. I also don't know how to set pcpartpicker.com to only show Hong Kong merchants. Someone else might know how though. But i just built a computer for someone about 3 weeks ago and they wanted all of their parts from amazon.com and it ended up costing them a extra $400 because some parts were higher on amazon vs other merchants like newegg or NCIX. If you do order everything from the list in my previous post from the few different merchants will you have to pay extra since you do live in Hong Kong?

 

[Akseli1]

I have to pay extra for the shipping, but amazon is supposedly free shipping and also I found everything from your list in amazon, also this might be a stupid question, but the case that you suggested has only 2 usb inputs and I was wondering how do I get more, because I'm going to need atleast 4-5, also last time i built my computer and I bought a case for same kind of price, it kind of sucked, so I wanna contribute a little bit more on the case. Thanks.

Seems like such a waste. Build stuff in china, ship it to the US, only to have it shipped back to china again!😛

Yea i kind of though you might but i am glad to hear that you found everything on amazon. Most cases will have 2-4 usb ports in the front of the case and your motherboard will have the rest, yours has 6 USB 3.0 by the way. The case that i just linked also has 4 on top and it is better than the other one i linked in my earlier post. Now don't get me wrong, the Corsair 400r is a great case. I just did a build in it a few weeks ago and i really liked it. But this Fractal Design R4 will be quieter when running and is just a higher quality case than the last. Also added another 140mm fan for intake in the front since only one is included. You really cant go wrong with either case. The R4 is my personal favorite though and it looks fantastic.
