USD$

###Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes i have.

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Want a good gaming pc that plays new games without issues. Also plan to use as my design computer (photoshop, illustrator, some photo editing as well)

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

Want to run games at high settings, not necessarily 4k since i know my monitor is more 2k, but Im fine with running at 2k.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

$1500-$2000, but the cheaper is def better

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

USA

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).
