I've decided to build a pc and i got a budget of 1800 - 2000 dollars. 4k is not important and I need a monitor that supports it. The thing is that i know nothing about building a pc. I play FPS games, RPGs, MMOs. Almost a bit of everything :D? So could someone please help me with the components and a monitor that good? Best regards

This will run most everything at ultra/max settings and 90+FPS (higher demanding games) Monitor goes up to 144hz as well so you can see up to 144 FPS.
You do not need an i7, don't ask.

Building your own computer is easy. Building it takes 2-3 hours, and installing windows takes about 30mins to 45mins, and after that downloading and installing drivers takes another 30-45 mins. After all that, have it download windows updates at night, it may take a 2-4 passes to get them all.

Protip for installing drivers safely, install them one at a time and restart the computer after each install to avoid breaking the OS, which can happen if you try to install them all at once.
