[chevalier88]

Hi guys I have a budget of 1.5k and looking for suggestions from the professionals here. Any advice/suggestion for a high end gaming pc built? Thanks.

Need OS but no need monitor kb and mouse..

1.5k won't be able to get you a high-end PC, probably just a mid-range one

2K$ is about the budget required to build a high end gaming PC

1.5k cannot high end. More likely mid tier PC with value oriented parts.

2k just nice for mid high end.

2.5k high end

3k extreme

4k and above then elite

Don't you think the casing is a bit too budget for this build?

Quad Titan X + Dual 18 Core Xeons.

Quad Titan X + Dual 18 Core Xeons.

Xeons are useless for gaming due to low clock speed

The ideal chip is 5930K

Rigs of that price range are for benchmarking. Xeons give a much better score on synthetic benchies.

Depends on what you bench also.

Gaming rigs bench on Fire Strike so that doesn't make a difference
