Need Help with my First Gaming PC

[Kami675]

Hello Tom community! I am currently looking to build a new Gaming PC. I have around $2000 max to spend on the PC. This does NOT include keyboard, mouse, monitor
As far as what I would do on my PC, I plan on using it to play games on the best settings(League of Legends, World of Warcraft, Ark, CoD, Battlefield, Witcher, GTA etc), use it to do homework, play movies, youtube, music etc,
I am not planning on using it for creating videos, photoshop etc.

P.S. What monitor is the best currently in your opinion? I plan on using a dual monitor

thanks in advance,
- Kris

Anyways, even my high-end builds use cheapo PSUs and cases, but I haven't had one fail me yet 😛

EDIT 2: Pro versions of windows may actually be useful, because you might want microsoft's remote desktop built in..

I smell smoke....

There is very little need for Pro (or higher) of any Win version, going back to XP, unless you are in a corporate environment.

I still like Apevia.. JS...


Edit: looked on newegg, pretty much all Apevia cases have good ratings.

Because people who don't know anything about PCs tend to rate junk very highly because of that new "out of the box" feel. It's stuff like that that makes me think store reviews are bogus for the most part.

In addition to the paid 5 star ratings.

Yeah that too, and if you go on any serious hardware review site (which I do frequently) like Hardware Secrets, Anandtech, or Jonnyguru, they *TRASH* crap like Apevia, Raidmax, Xclio, and Xion. And deservedly so.
