config suggestions on a gaming computer

Hello fellow cpu'ers could use some advice on buying a home cpu. I play wow and witcher but looking to have something that i can upgrade in time. Mostly concerned that i choose the right componets for future vid cards and a great monitor as my 52 yr old eyes need it :). Im not that savy on tech but i have tried to lessen your burden of help here. I dont know if a better form than the one i picked with monitor (i do not have a monitor, but could wait to buy that would be better)thank you so much for your time!

Budget:
[2k]

Expectations:
[somewhat future upgrade worthy]

Usage:
[, plays wow, witcher, but interested in vr (future]

Special Needs:
[might use it for cad programs, autocad or microstation in future]

Saved Ticket #: [Please Type Here]

Specifications:
[1449050 config info, I play on a laptop atm, and want something that is upgrade-able for future, so i put a good psu, also i wasnt sure on a monitor so chose mid range?]

just upgrading the vid card, so potential VR games, and anything else i can upgrade for that, dont think the mother board, so again im a terribad newbie at picking system go togethers...thank you kindly for your response

your teh awesome, ty

My build is $73 more then yours however in power it kicks the pants off of your build. You get a better cpu that has HT and it will be running higher speed.

It has Hyperthread HT technology so it will have better longevity, and its faster so it will feel more powerful in 5 years then a stock i5.

For your work I like to give you cpu with more cores but its expensive and I'm not sure if its in the budget and also I don't like to advise older tech unless I really have to.

your ssd now is bigger but your storage 1TB is gone, do you need a storage drive right now? if not lets wait and see when you are ready if the price of ssd has come down enough for you to stick a 1TB ssd in there, if not add the 1x Storage (1TB Western Digital - Black Edition), make sure you add the black edition that are notorious for being dependable, unlike some other drives.

your cpu boost is now stage 1 oc, but the cpu cooler limits us here greatly, and unfortunately we are not given an option to change it either.

Here you go Ticket# 1449148 --- $1,868.00 (To see this build click here)

let me look around and see if I can find another config for same range but better options, I doubt but it does not hurt to try.

that looks right on track , a better future build that i, lacked the understanding to do :) Doesnt have the monitor, I only have my laptop so i guess for the interim i could get a best buy or first pic $129 monitor here and upgrade that at a later date when i can.
