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. Strong

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!
