I want to get a new desktop computer but I don't know anything about what the latest, best value, reliable, etc parts are so I'd appreciate some help

 

I have a $2k budget and I'm looking for something that will run all future games for a while

 

Peripherals are not included in the $2k budget, the budget is only for the computer itself

Is this for gaming or a workstation?

 

He mentionned it had to be able to *run all the future games*, please read before spam posting every thread.

 

Else Drakanen, look @ the pre-builds on Cyberpower and ibuypower

If you want to build, you can inspire yourself with these. It should be even cheaper if you order part by part, maybe go above 2k$ because of the price difference aswell. With 2k, you'll be more than okay to run any games for the next decade. I'm a big fan of Intel cpus and nvidia gpus, and you can afford them with the budget you have.

Well a good workstation computer can run all future games, I wanted to know if to add faster storage over a better gpu, or the other way around

This should work, and I included some fresh cable mod cables.

I'm not spam posting, I'm just bored and love building computers on pc parts picker haha.

It's a little above $2000 but I have these

the only difference is the storage

is there anything I'm missing? do I need more fans? something that's a bad choice?

 

For gaming go with higher clock speed over more cores, I would recommend going with the 17-6700k, and a water cooling aio loop, for overclocking, and dont use windows oem, its useless unless you own a server, get pro., i would also possibly go with 32 gigs of ram
