I researched a bunch of really beefy computer parts yesterday and the total for the PC came out to be just $2,500 INCLUDING $500 in monitors (HD 144HZ 27')

I genuinely thought this build would be upwards of $4,000

Time to max out the old credit card

    Yeah, building your own will always be much cheaper. Even expensive branded machines have some shitty parts.

    @ScribeOfGoD I have a text file with all the parts and links that I could put here.

    Off the top of my head,

    36 GB DDR4@3,000
    1TB SSD
    GTX 1080 TI
    i7 at something like 4.8 GHz (whatever the expensive one is)

    @AlgoRythm That's a ridiculously overkill machine if ever I saw one. What in the world are you doing that requires 36gb ram??

    @qwerty77asdf mostly Amazon and Best Buy

    As if you are hiring a Google AI engineer to list data from API.

    I have 16 GB RAM, 1050TI, core i7700, 256SSD and 1TB HDD and it's more than enough to run any game/Software with full specs and still affordable for 1.6K

    @AlgoRythm interesting time to buy new parts, since 2080ti is around the corner and well, that changes things.
    Edit:
    F it. Have fun.

    I can recommend buying used parts, you can drop that price further.

    @RageBone the TI is down to $500! So I'm fucking thrilled about that. Everything else was pretty close, cooling was $69 aio. Case was like 140 or something (not a mid case), Mobo was under 200

    @AlgoRythm a good mobo I hope, power delivery becomes a problem with cheaper boards.

    Yea, I went into overdrive rambling and checked out.

    Seems fairly good.
