So I've been saving up and am ready to build a gaming pc. I am not very knowledgable, however, of how to go about this. This will be my first gaming desktop. I'd appreciate any feedback on what parts, hard drive space, GPU, processor, etc. that I should consider with a budget of $1500 to $2000. I'm not sure how much it will cost but I set aside those funds just in case. Thanks again for a helping a newb out with this.

Do you need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, OS, etc with this, or are you just building a tower?

Yes I would like to include all of that actually. I'm totally new to this and have never built a pc before. I am new to computer gaming but I am definitely loving it so I've been saving up to build a sweet setup.

I recently put together my own as well and used this video"Tested"as a guide while I was building it. Also, corsair has a video of them building a computer with the same case as mine so I used that too as help. The Tested link was really helpful though.

for that price, even for your low price you could beat what ive got in my sig. so you can basicallywith alittle less get about what i have($800-$1000)butyour budget will beat it pretty badly esspecially with the hardware out now.
