Welcome to the forum Kobra!

This is a forum of DS rig owners and DS customers, so don’t be thinking we are employees or anything... but we often help customers of DS to decide on a good choice based on our experience.   I have bought 4 DS rigs since 2011, including a recent Lumos build.

Right around your budget we can begin to say a rig might run most current games very well at 1440p or 1080p monitor resolutions.    The NVidia RTX 2070 video card is the do it all pretty well mid range card that seems to be a sweet spot that can run most popular current games on fairly high settings at those resolutions.   Here are a couple solid midrange builds that have that excellent RTX 2070 card.

GOOD...Vanquish 7 Level 4 - $1,799   Config # 2373085
       DS 120mm Air cooled Intel i7-8700 6 core CPU...
       Z370 Motherboard...16 GB RAM...240 TB SSD
       DS 600w power supply - 2 TB storage drive
       RTX 2070 Video Card    LED case fans/Lights

BETTER...Lynx Level 4 - $1,999   Config # 2373049
      DS Sealed 240 mm water cooled i7-9700 8 Core CPU
      Z390 Motherboard - 16 GB RAM - 500 TB M.2 SSD
      DS 750W power supply - 2 TB Storage drive
      RTX 2070 Video Card - RGB case fans / lights

With DS gaming rigs you generally get what you pay for....and you certainly could get more performance with a higher budget, but these two mid range rigs are a pretty solid value for the gaming performance they offer.   See what you think.
