Gaming rig recommendation!

[mgbymgbymgby]

Hey mates! Need a gaming rig recommendation, budget of 2k +/- , able to exceed 2k.

Need rig & os

( Will be getting it this week, or will it be better to wait for upcoming IT fair/show etc? )

Also, are there any good monitor promotion which is worth to get?


The person will just be using for LoL & Dota2, will 2k be an overkill?

 

[Jian19]

yes very overkill...

 

[mgbymgbymgby]

yes very overkill...

Bro then what will you suggest? Will 2k be sufficient to play all those upcoming games? Like don't have to upgrade very often

 

[shadow84]

$2k for upcoming games like watchdog, gta5, den its reasonable. $2k for LOL and dota2 is overkill.

So, what is ur defination of upcoming games? Dota3?

 

[Swiftbladez]

2k? maybe 1.4k on the rig itself and 600 on peripherals especially monitor and speakers / headset.

People totally underrate how peripherals can create a better gaming experience.

Get a ducky shine mechanical steel series qck and a logitech g400s

Idk, like what you said? Watchdog, GTA5 etc, those kinda games!

Have decent peripherals already, maybe the monitor could be upgraded! Thanks for suggestion

Get a ducky shine mechanical steel series qck and a logitech g400s

Yeah, have those already but the mouse is SS Kana

So could a 2k rig sustain for a good 3 year or so for upcoming games? Should I wait for upcoming PC/IT fair/shows and head down to SLS or it won't make a huge different in pricing??


Also could anyone recommend the setup? 2k +/-
