Help me build a 1500 USD computer with 2 monitors

[erikeaton8]

Good evening!

Looking at building a gaming computer for around 1500 dollars with two monitors. I need operation system and everything else in-between. I can shop at microcenter. I would obviously like to future proof as much as possible. The rig would primarily be for gaming.

You also want to include 2 monitors and peripherals in 1500 bucks?

 

[erikeaton8]

Yes, I would like it to all inclusive.

 

[AMD Radeon]

you can start from here
i hope you meant gaming in 1 monitor, and the other for multitasking
because gaming in 2 monitors requires expensive GPU

I left about $150 for your choice of keyboard, mouse, speakers and headphones

 

[erikeaton8]

Yes I would use the other for multi-tasking. Would you recommend a fx-8350 for multiple monitors? or will a cpu not impact this at all?

 

[AMD Radeon]

^ 8350 performs slightly below i5 4670K
especially in gaming
