My First Computer

packagevevo

Hello my soon to be PC master race brothers and sisters. It is almost my time to leave the console space and enter PC gaming. Though to do this I will need hardware that I know little about. Thanks in advance for your aiding of my new and exciting journey. 
My Budget: It's $2000 all in. I would need this to cover everything from an desk to an OS.
My needs/wants: I would prefer an Nvidia GPU due to the availability of GeForce Experience. I will mostly be gaming with slight productivity in the way of school work. 
What games I want to play: Elite Dangerous, CSGO, GTA V, Cyberpunk 2077, and some of your guy's recommendations. 
Final Info: Just remember the budget is for the whole setup and not just the PC. 
Thank you for all your help.

Hello @packagevevo
I just have a few questions so we can help you with this setup. 
Do you have a preference on the CPU, AMD or Intel? 
What size monitor are you looking for? 
Lastly, are you looking to have us build this, or are you planning to build the PC yourself?

So I assumed a few things.  First is that you don't have a cpu preference and went with AMD purely for the price considering you need everything for this build.  Second I assumed you have a desk, if this isn't the case there is still a bit of room in here but I left it at this price to account for tax wherever you may be.  If you do need a desk I suggest a Walmart special for starters just as a place to put everything.  Other than that I included all the peripherals needed with a good high refresh rate monitor, good keyboard and mouse, and of course your OS.  Now if you need to save a little extra cash, drop the extra large mouse mat I have in there to save 20 bucks or so.  Also there are other ways to get an activated OS key and use the microsoft media creation tool.  But if your uncomfortable doing that then I have included a win10 key in this build.  Now the case is one that you can mess around with and see if you like a different one, same thing with the mouse and keyboard.  Hope this works for you and have fun building

Hello hello and welcome! It's exciting to move from console to PC and you won't regret it! 

I've not included a desk in this part list as I'm not sure of the space that you'd have available. As TheITDad mentioned above, I've tried to leave room for your sales tax, as I'm not sure of your location.

There are a few parts in here that I'd recommend that you consider changing based on your style or preference. I think that your peripherals are a very personal choice, so I'd recommend that you find something that is comfortable or fits your style. The same could be said for your case, but personally, I think the H510 does a great job staying subtle while showing off your build. I went with an ATX motherboard that has WiFI onboard. If you're able to go hardwired, you could save some there. I included the extra-large mouse pad as well, but it's not required. So you could find some more savings there.

For your monitor, I chose a great offering from AOC. It's 27" 144hz 1440p panel is paired greatly with the EVGA RTX 2070 Super. 

As far as game recommendations, I've been enjoying Satisfactory and Borderlands 3 lately. If you enjoy CS:GO, I'd recommend trying Valorant.  This build would easily be able to handle these titles and more, giving you a great experience and tons of fun!

As you can see based on my comments above, a lot of the parts you choose are up to your personal preference. However, if you can dream it we can build it!
