Hey everybody. I am going to build my very first gaming computer. My budget is around $2000. $2100 with a good monitor. I would like a really high end, maybe ASUS or GIGABYTE branded Z97 Motherboard. I would like a Black/Red color scheme. I would like either 1 GTX 980 or 2 GTX 970s. For the Case, CPU Cooler, and RAM possibly, I would like Corsair since my keyboard and mouse are Corsair. Maybe even a SEAGATE hard drive and Samsung EVO SSD. I dont overclock and I play games like Crysis 3, Far Cry 3, Advanced Warfare, Counter Strike, you know what I mean. Thank you to all of you for your support. :)
 
This should meet your needs, they're mostly black and red, there's Corsair RAM but they don't have black and red I think, mostly silver or grey, and Corsair PSU charge too much, you're better off with Evga PSU. As for the monitor, if you can wait, I would get the Asus MG279Q when it is out, I think it "might" come out next month. It is a 1440p IPS 120Hz monitor, this build should give you satisfactory results pairing with that monitor, up to 120 fps with no tearing.
