Please help recommend a gaming rig for $2K

[kevinchentx]

hi bros, as stated above. Can help recommend a rig for budget of $2,000? My last gaming rig lasted me a solid 8 years. Now I'm looking to get a new one as my previous one died on me. I don't need speakers, keyboard and mouse and the monitor. Hoping to get a really solid rig that can last me years again.
I'd really like to play BF 1 on max settings. Thank you in advance bros!

may i know whats your current monitor and u intend to upgrade to which monitor?
do u need wifi?
pc put on the table or floor?
need color theme?

I'm using a 23 inch Samsung monitor which I bought last year. I don't intend to change the monitor.
I'm going to use wired connection so I guess wifi is optional.
It's going to be on the table.
I don't really have a color theme in mind so anything is fine really as long as it's not pink.

Any suggestions guys? I'm so confused by all the different parts. I'm actually considering getting a pre built one.... but I know building it from scratch is probably better value.

your 2k can get you much more than what your 23 inch samsung need i think, just try wait till got qoo10 coupons to get your graphics

Does it matter cos graphic card can't last Long esp if you game. Few yrs later current 1070 will be just a 1050.

ya i know but base on his budget can get gtx 1080 though. so at least few years down the road at least it will be at 1060 or maybe 1050 ti

I suppose I will in a few years time.

The jump is never that huge in terms of gaming until this generation . Take a look at the benchmarks ,its about a 10% jump between generations. Granted pascal cards is a giant leap compared to the 9xx. We wouldnt see another giant jump like this for awhile. So its safe to get a 1080
