Topic: HELP, I'm a PC noob! Posted: 22 Feb 2018 at 8:41pm |
I'm a PC noob. I've gaming on console since I was 5 and been hardcore ever since. Recently I started using my brother's PC and never want back to console, I actually ended up selling my XB1 and PS4. PC is def master race haha. I don't know the specs of his PC all I know is that he bought a $700 Cyber Power PC. I'm looking into buying a PC for myself but I really need some help. My price range is no more than $2,000. Keep in mind I'm gaming 24/7 so I need something that won't crash on me after a while. PLEASE HELP :(

Hi Suso. We need more info, like what games and most importantly, the screen resolution you’ll be using. Off the top of my head and for your budget the Vanquish level 4 will give you great gaming and frame rates on. 1920x1080 or even a 1440p at 60hz.
A custom build other than Vanquish would push you above your budget. |

Hi Suso,
Echoing what bprat22 stated, the resolution you will be using is the key to open the system that will perform best without overspending. |

I plan on using an Acer 24 inch monitor (144Hz Refresh Rate). A buddy of mine told me it was a good one.

Do you know which model? Various resolutions (1080, 1440, don't know if 4K also) have that refresh rate.

Look here:
Digital Storm Desktop - Config ID 1856372 Total $2007.00 Best I can do with best custom parts at your budget. There are some upgrades for better performance/warranty, like the Samsung EVO and the mobo. Went with the Vanquish case and air cooling to save $. Better bang for your buck with minor compromise would be the Vanquish lvl 4. Best proc, better GPU. You can't modify the Vanquish line at all, but this is a very good deal at this price. At 1080p, that 1070Ti will give you great performance for several years, and the proc can't be beaten for gaming! |
