Recommendation for a new rig!

[bzkx23]

Hi all!

Currently looking for recommendations for a new rig.... Budget of $2000....


What I really need is just something that is long lasting... Can be expensive for the start but most importantly must have a longer lifespan...

Things I would need to run would be Adobe creative suite, MS office suite, some steam games, bnet games and some origin games. Preferably on high/max settings.


Looking forward to your help guys!


Thanks in advance!

Don't think there'll be a need to....

I am assuming you can't DIY at all ?

Get the non K cpu like i5 4590 or i7(if you do video ,graphics rendering ) and a chipset H87 or Z87 .

Z97(support next gen cpu) is pointless since you not have no DIY knowledge at all and can't upgrade to next generation cpu yourself hence pointless feature.

For other parts and shop rec you go recent rec rig threads and copy and post it here and bro here can make slight changes to fit your budget and usage .
