Looking for gaming build with 2k budget

[Mythstatic]

Hey fellow gamers,

I haven't been in the loop with the latest technology and competition in regards to gaming builds for a long while. I was wondering if someone could help me by putting together potentially a newegg cart or a parts list for a beast machine with a 2k budget.

I'm an AMD fan but if you see better performance with Intel, go for it.
I would like to have some amount of SSD in there.

Types of games I play.

Arma 3
Total War games,
GTA V
Some MMO's
Witcher

Bottom line this beast should be able to conquer those games at the very least.
I have a monitor and other accessories, this thread is simply for the actual PC

Not opposed to a bit of watercooling if necessary, perhaps for the CPU.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it

do you need peripherals like mouse, keyboard and monitor? if you have a monitor already what resolution is it? and do you need a copy of an operating system.

Doesn't include OS because I assume you already have that by saying you have all accessories. The PSU is about $150 but it is currently out of stock most places, just Google it and try to find one.

the new 980 Ti is a beast. its so close to the titan for 65% of the price. if you were to SLI these together you could feasibly run any game maxed at 4k on a single monitor.

Anything from LGA2011 is a waste of money, sees no performance increase compared to the LGA1150 4790K and is a lot more expensive to boot.

Really appreciate all of the builds guys. Thank you so much. Warlocks.

Anything from LGA2011 is a waste of money, sees no performance increase compared to the LGA1150 4790K and is a lot more expensive to boot.

So shoot for LGA1150 4790K instead?

 

[kwa-e]

Yeah, But if you think you'll be needing the extra threads of the 5820K for anything along the likes of streaming or rendering it may be worth the 100-200USD investment over LGA1150.

LGA1151's Skylake Architecture is also right along the corner and is set to launch from a month from now, You'll likely want to wait for that to see if there are any good improvements over haswell.

 

[Mythstatic]

Yeah I'm pretty much at this point. Ordered the asus 980ti, now just have to make the decision between 1150 or 2011. All I do is pretty much game on this thing, I don't stream but I do sometimes have multiple vm's up for school

 

[kwa-e]

You may find a use for the 2011 V3's extra threads if you're gaming and running a VM at the same time, But the platform has gotten a lot cheaper than it was before.

Probably only 50-100USD for a 2011 rig over an 1150 equivalent, May be worth considering if you want something to brag about at school ;P
