Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next month or two

Budget Range:$1500-2000 USD (for PC alone) + $500 Per monitor?

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Entertainment /surfing the web/ Watching youtube + movies / gaming (the games i play aren't demanding) such as LoL.

Are you buying a monitor: Yes (I'd like recommendations for an AWESOME monitor setup) - I'd like a dual monitor setup preferably? I'd be willing to spend $500 PER monitor as long as I can get some really really great ones. I'd be willing to increase budget if need be.

Parts to Upgrade: Fresh build - buying everything new.

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts:No preference.

Location: NYC

Parts Preferences: Whatever is the best for my money.

Overclocking:Don't care

SLI or Crossfire: Don't care

Your Monitor Resolution: Whatever would be the best, I don't know much about them, but I want something that'll knock my socks off, whether when watching netflix/movie/gaming...or even surfing web, I just want something that crisp and immersive!

Additional Comments:I'd like a bigger PC tower if possible, I like bigger towers.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Just want a kick-ays PC ;) - I build my current 1 back in 2013 and although it still works perfectly fine, It's been about 10 years with it. Time for an upgrade I'd say.

ok, I just saw that the monitors were not to be included in the budget. That changes things a bit.
