Ok so I'm wondering what everyone would choose for parts if they had 2000$ to build the best PC they could. Ready... Set.... GO!
 
Yes i was hoping to see everything except the monitor. Im looking at building a desktop this winter and I'm just trying to get ideas. I love to hear every ones input.
 
Come back when you actually build the machine. The hardware is moving so fast that you will find your component "outdated" in winter

Sadly this is true. Theres the bulldozer coming out, among other things. Technology advances daily, if we give you a build now it will compare sadly to what you could buy in the winter for $2,000.
 
Yes, but it might be cheaper to build when the time comes and it will still be very good by your current 'old' standards. You just have to ask yourself what you need the computer for and whether having the latest specs is really that much of an advantage to you personally. You'll certainly save money by staying slightly behind the state of the art and you may even have more enjoyment from it, since the hardware is already tried and tested. With brand new technology, you don't know what it's shortfalls are until they hit you and you've already spent your money. Even then, whatever you have will probably be going out of date as you're building it.

And do remember that 'best' is subjective. What's actually best for a given task may vary, from user to user. I would say it's best to assess your needs first - then build a machine which will fulfill them.

Just my two cents...

I know i purchased my PC parts almost a year ago to the day (4/4/10) and it cost me $2400 nowadays if i was to build the same PC just the tower as i did back then only one year later it would cost me $1500 most likely less.
