$2000 budget gaming

[GrandeFinn]

I need to build a new computer. Ideas?

 

[FATALiiTYz]

Where are you looking to purchase the parts from? What are the Primary uses of the computer? We need more information please.

What is the use for your PC?
Need Monitor/ speakers/ OS?

 

[danthrax]

Have you done any of your own research yet? Any CPU preference? AMD? Intel?

 

[GrandeFinn]

Im kinda new to this sorry. I need a gaming computer no monitor, but speakers yes. I really dont much about the hardware just how to put it together?

This guys first post build on the second page is good. It will not cost 2k and would be great. I might upgrade the MOBO and add an SSD.

^ It could be better...

TS, would you rather use the entire $2000 for a really powerful machine, or save a bit and have a slightly less powerful (but still awesome) one?

Speakers - 2.0/2.1/5.1?

 

[GrandeFinn]

2000 was the most i could spend. If i didn't have to it would be better.

$2k is a great gaming machine IMO. 2.1 speaker I have & recommend is the Z-2300.
