Budget:
Definitely planning on taking advantage of the payment system, would prefer no more than $5,000

Expectations:
I want the machine to be able to run games with Max graphics with a great frame rate.

Usage:
Mainly FPS games such as Rainbow Six: Siege, DayZ, PUBG, and BF1

Special Needs:
I have no knowledge of computers, like at all. I'm coming from console. I need guidance on a machine that will literally make my eyes have an orgasm, and also be able to capture and edit videos for youtube. Thank you to whom ever helps, I appreciate you.



Specifications:
I've been looking at the "Aventum 3: Level 1 'Good'" I believe it is called.

I went with the Velox, as the Aventum 3 is just overkill for any system these days. I also went with the Ryzen processor, as you indicated you want to do simultaneous video capture along side your gaming...the extra cores help with that.

I'd suggest holding out for just a little...Computex, the largest industry event, is going on in Taipei this coming week with a number of new product launches, including the Vega GPU from AMD. Availability is unknown as of now, but there could be some interesting market shifts (better for the consumer) that happen as a result.

I also would suggest the Velox unless aesthetics is a big player in your decision.

Excellent build.     

We might get this below $5k if your monitor is below 4k resolution, then a single card will do it.

Thank you guys for the replies!! Also, aesthetics mean nothing, I don't care if it's as ugly as a hogs a$$, I just care about how well in runs. Finally, I'll probably run most games on 1080p, maybe 1440p, I'm not too worried about resolution too much, I'm really try-hard with my videogames, such as siege, I'm more worried about FPS, although I do want at least 1080p with 150 frames. I'd also like to run larger games, such as PUBG and BF1 at 150 fps also on the highest graphics. This leaves me with two final questions, will this build run those games at max graphics with 150fps at 1080p? And, if my monitor is 144hz refresh, does it matter if my PC gets higher frame rate? Thank you guys in advance and sorry for how long this has been.

That is one strong system with the 1080Ti's in SLI. Don't know about Ryzen or fps rates. Should run any monitor at its max. (probably even the current 4Ks).
I'd also get a longer warranty than basic since 1 year (parts) goes very fast. Good luck.Big%20Smile
