New Build Help with ~ 2000 dollar budget

Hello everyone,

I'm shopping around for a new desktop pc that will predominately be used for gaming (skyrim, ffxiv, the witcher, etc). My current desktop is around 5 years old and it just isn't holding up any longer. I'm not exactly tech savvy so I was hoping some of you could look over my first build and give me some advice. I would like to have the option to upgrade to two cards with SLI in the future if possible but i'm easily persuaded if this is not an economical move, haha. I'm also concerned about adequate cooling for the system. Thanks for the help everyone!

Budget:
approximately 2000$ give or take a couple of hundred, but cheaper would always be better if i'm not getting much performance power with my dollars

Expectations:
Mid level gaming pc without having to upgrade for a couple of years

Usage:
mostly gaming, but will also be used for work related purposes (ppt, word, excel, camtasia, some video editing)

Welcome to the DS forums, taloddar2002!

There are 2 changes I would recommend to your build. The first is to change the SSD to a Samsung 840 Pro. It's the fastest SSD out and has a slightly better reliability record over the Corsair. And since my life has not been favored by Seagate, I would opt for the Western Digital Black Caviar 1TB drive - but this is a personal preference. (Even Apple ended up replacing every 1TB Seagate drive used in their iMacs that were sold over a 2 year period due to quality issues.)

Other than that, looks like a rockin' system!

You put together a real nice build.      Make the changes suggested and you're on your way to a nice DS rig.     The mobo and psu allow sli if needed in the future.

Good luck.
