Gaming PC ~2200 Budget


I have around $2200 to spend and I wanted to know what's a good build that can meet that budget range.  Hopefully I can get towards the higher end of gaming, but I'm unsure of the products or price point that can give me that sort of freedom.  Hoping someone could come up with a decent build at this budget.

  • So for that price you can basically top out gaming performance.  Now I went Ryzen so that I could squeeze in a 2080TI but if you want to go intel then you can drop down to a 2080 super and you should be able to make it an intel build.  Also the price of the build I have is right at 2200 and that is pre-tax, so if you need it to be 2200 post tax the simple fix is just drop down to a 2080 super which admittedly not gonna lose you a ton of performance but will save you a few hundred which will also allow you to probably get a bigger boot nvme drive.  Enjoy your build.

  • If you’re trying to do high end gaming or streaming, then you can also replace the 3900x with a 3700x or 3800x and use the spare money for more ram or a better cpu fan. A better cpu fan is recommended if you want to use a 3900x, especially if you want to do even some slight overclocking.
  • ItsNotJiaching is correct, you can drop down to a 3700/3800x cpu and save cash there.  While I would suggest the 3700x because the cost difference isn't worth the small performance boost you gain.  Then that extra cash could be used towards a win10 key or an AIO cooler, but if you do go with the 3700x and you don't plan on doing any OC'ing then the included cooler should be just fine.
