[SOLVED] New gaming PC $2000 budget

[RT47]

Hi, I'm looking to build a new gaming PC for a friend and I was just wondering if anyone has some suggestions or parts lists for gaming PC near $2000cad.

So this will be mainly a gaming PC. No crazy RGB's at all, he just wants one that works. He'd be happy with just a black case. But I'd like to leave room to upgrade, mainly storage. I'd only do liquid cooling if I absolutely have to. I'll also need an OS. Don't have the monitor and I have no idea what resolution he'll go for.

I want to stay close to $2000cad but not afraid to go a little over if I have to.

I'd like to buy everything at Canada computers here in Canada.

Any help at all is greatly appreciated!

Find out what resolution he wants to play and games etc.

Have to have some sort of starting point.

@jankerson he would be playing new graphic intensive games and pubg. Resolution I would guess 1080p but higher than that would be nice. I like the look of the one Hellfire picked out.

@Hellfire13 is 2800 ram speed good enough for gaming?

RAM speed is one of the least factors that has any effect in gaming, unless you are on very slow RAM. That board does not support more than 2666 anyways, so the 2800 will scale down to 2666. But you will not find much difference there in real time.
