Budget: $1500-$2000
More specific use (what games, what programs): FPS Games at 144Hz, any new exciting MMORPG (I do not plan on doing any streaming)
Planned time until purchase: 1-2 Days MAX
Do you need an Operating System?: I'll do the cheap windows 10 key thing (will need some guidance on this)
Do you have any specific preferred components?: 1080 Ti and any 144Hz monitors you guys recommend in my budget. I am thinking one 27" monitor.
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: Doubtful
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: I plan on doing a modest overclock
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: I'll account for the mouse and keyboard on my own, a reasonable 27" 144hz monitor would be nice.
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 53076

I don't have a preference of intel or amd but I heard the intel socket will be dead in the near future for upgrades?
I want this build to be as future proof as it can be.

RGB lights are a plus on components cuz pretty

Thanks for the help!

So will the AMD socket. Any CPU you purchase today, will be ded socket by the time it's 2022+ if not longer when you actually need to upgrade the CPU.

Total: $1845.14
use the remaining on a CPU cooler u want and windows key
you can sacrifice perf/cost and go RGB if that plus is more important to u
for a good 27" fps monitor, you're looking to spend around 500+ minimum. So stick with 24"
u wont be using gsync either, so get the viewsonic as it's the godlike monitor for fps atm. Otherwise if you really want gsync, get the Acer Z271

If you take the monitor out of the budget what would you change with the computer build filling that 1500-2000 budget?
