New Gaming PC

[Deleted]

Hi, I need help building a new PC from scratch. It will mostly be used for gaming.

What I do not need, are the peripherals.
My budget is around 2000€, I buying from Europe.

Thanks for your help.

What's your goal with the system?

What games do you play? At what resolution?

I know you have a 2000 budget, but keep in mind, that isn't a reason to just spend money. Getting 16gb of ram, or a sabertooth is just burning money for the purpose of burning money.

There is a German locale on PCPartPicker, so I am putting a build together right now there. I will post it in a few minutes.

Here is the build, no reason to spend the whole budget of 2k if you are not going to spend a good portion on new peripherals.

To note: There are a few parts that cost a bit extra to ship from Amazon, so I am not sure if you would want to go elsewhere for those or not. You should check prices in other shops. Otherwise, I actually tried to color match (as much as possible) to keep it looking tidy with the window. You could spend a bit more to get a fully modular PSU.

Change the 7970 to gigabyte, same performance but better overclocking + 70 euro cheaper.
