Need assistance with building a new system? Let me help you get started!
Approximate Purchase Time:
1 to 2 weeks
Budget Range:
$2200 total
System Importance from Highest to Lowest:
Gaming (PUBG, Escape from Tarkov), web browsing
Are you purchasing a monitor:
No (already own Asus Predator 27" 1440P)
Components to Upgrade:
Full build
Do you require an operating system:
Yes
Please be aware that if your Windows license is OEM, you'll need a replacement when replacing the motherboard.
Preferred Retailers for Parts:
Open to all platforms but have frequently used Newegg and Amazon.
Location:
Reno, NV USA (unfortunately no major stores nearby like Micro Center or Fry's, though Best Buy is available).
Parts Preferences:
Intel processor and NVIDIA GPU are preferred; other options are acceptable but Asus MoBo has proven reliable.
Overclocking:
Not desired
SLI or Crossfire:
Not needed
Monitor Resolution:
2560x1440 at 165hz
Additional Notes:
I've assembled multiple PCs in the past, but my most recent build was over five years ago, so I'm somewhat unfamiliar with current components. My budget remains flexible, aiming close to $2K.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading:
My existing system is still functional but has aged: it uses a GTX 1080 GPU and an i7-8700K CPU. I'm seeking advice on suitable gaming configurations right now. Thank you very much for your support!
