Gf is looking to get into PC gaming so im looking to build her a decent setup to get going.

Budget: Would like to stay under $2500
More specific use (what games, what programs): General gaming, we play everything. Also do some video editing, nothing serious though
Planned time until purchase: Would like to purchase ASAP
Do you need an Operating System?: I assume reddit is still the best for this?
Do you have any specific preferred components?: Thermaltake LVL 10 snow edition, other than that im very open, would like blue components if possible
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: Nope
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: Whatever will get the job done. I doubt there will be any overclocking needed.
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: Need Keyboard, mouse, and preferably 2x144hz monitors
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 47460 indiana.

$2500 will get you much more than a decent setup, even with 2 144hz monitors at a high resolution

I will put something together, would you like to leave money in your budget and do a custom watercooling loop? for that budget you certainly could setup a sexy one

I'm always up for money left over, i just wanna be sure that the rig won't have any issues running up and coming games at max settings and a good fps. I don't really wanna go with a custom watercooling system unless its needed.

dual 144hz monitors, but 1080p (the higher res monitors are around $700 each)
PSU is a great deal, if you may want to SLI the 980 TI's later you will want to get something higher, the EVGA Supernova 1KW is $100 which is also a great deal
Tried to keep your Blue in mind, the RAM, motherboard, mouse, and keyboard follow the blue them, video card is neutral black/gray

You could go down to a 250gb SSD, still have plenty of storage, and cost a lot less

Total $2400, -105 MIRs

BLACK & WHITE

~300 for keyboard
is that the correct case or is it the other one?
WITH BLUE LED PHANS, does that count as blue components? lmk I'll do a blue one if u dont like white

appreciate the builds fellas. Will probably give this a few days to see anymore input.

make sure to ask for another build in few days when u are actually planning to purchase, cos the prices will change for sure

Are the prices really gonna fluctuate so much that it would call for a new build? That seems crazy.

even if it doesn't change much, which is rare, there may be even better things at sick prices that you could purchase as well
