I'm looking to build a new gaming desktop around black friday/cyber monday and have about an $1800 spending limit (including OS). I will be using it to play all types of games, from new releases to older ones like LoL, FIFA, Battlefield, and various MMO's (GW2/FFXIV mainly). If someone wouldn't mind helping me out with a build it would be greatly appreciated. Would prefer something that would leave room for upgrade as in the future I would like to just keep this desktop and keep upgrading it as time goes by and it gets older. I would also in the future be wanting to connect two monitors to it, but will only be connected to one when I buy it. I already have a monitor and everything else needed just need tower with OS. Thanks in advance.
