NEW PC HELP.

[Lau chong]

Hello perpies members,

I'm looking for
help choosing parts for a new gaming PC.

I mainly play competitive FPS games like CS2, Call of Duty, Apex Legends, and Rust, but I also play other games such as Elden Ring and Path of Exile from time to time, and obviously also Garrys mod albeit very rarely these days.

My goal is to get a custom PC where I choose the parts, but I want to order it from a site/company that assembles the PC for me. I’m not interested in buying all the parts and building it myself — I just want to pick the components and have it built for me, and thats where i would like your help if possible.

My budget is around $2000 USD maximum, maybe a bit more if theres something perfect.

What I’m mainly looking for:

• High FPS performance for competitive shooters
• Good performance in other modern games as well
• And that it will last me for years and i wont have to replace it again in the next atleast 3 years hopefully more.

If possible, I’d also appreciate suggestions for good sites/companies that let you pick the parts and then build the PC for you.

Thanks in advance!

using AI to help you find a PC?! after that you’re gonna need atleast 2500$ cause you upped the price of ram

Hopefully this is some sort of help (even if you use it as a baseline for specs)

But this is the PC I have and I can’t say a bad thing about it, never had any performance issues.

If you asked AI to write that post for you then you also could have asked it to create a curated build guide specific to your needs with pricing according to your country, availability and other factors like use case.

I'm not helping with this one, sorry g

With a ~$2000 budget, you can build a very strong high-FPS gaming PC that will easily handle CS2, Apex, Call of Duty, Rust, and still run games like Elden Ring and Path of Exile smoothly for years.
For competitive FPS, the priorities are slightly different than typical “ultra graphics” builds:
Priority order for you

1. CPU performance (for high FPS and low input latency)
2. GPU power (especially for Warzone / Apex)
3. Fast RAM + SSD
4. Good cooling and upgrade path

Below is a balanced 2026 build that fits your goals very well.

Best Websites That Build the PC For You​

These let you pick parts and they assemble it.

In the US​

NZXT

• Very clean builder
• Good quality builds

iBUYPOWER

• Huge customization
• Often good deals

CyberPowerPC

• Usually cheapest
• Tons of part options

Origin PC

• High quality
• More expensive

---

If You Want MAX FPS Instead​

There is also an alternative GPU choice that competitive players often prefer:
AMD RX 7900 XT
Pros:

• Slightly more raw FPS
• 20GB VRAM

Cons:

• Worse ray tracing
• No DLSS

But for pure FPS gaming it’s excellent.

---

Why This Build Will Last 3–5 Years​

• The 7800X3D is still a top gaming CPU
• 32GB RAM prevents future issues
• 16GB VRAM GPU
• AM5 platform supports future CPU upgrades

You could realistically keep this 4–5 years before needing upgrades.

If you'd like, I can also show you:

• The BEST $2000 gaming build possible right now (slightly stronger than this)
• Which GPU is better for your exact games (4070 Ti Super vs 7900 XT)
• The 3 best prebuilt configurators where you’ll get the best price
• What monitor you should pair with this (1440p 240Hz vs 360Hz) — this actually matters a lot for competitive FPS.

if ur that lazy to make an ai post u can just buy the top of the range pc without reading anything that should be no problem to you

 

[money]

1. Search up "ChatGPT" on google
2. Ask him how to access google
3. Follow the steps
4. Once there, search up your problem.

Hope this helps.

lau chong honestly, just build your own, it's easier than it sounds, just takes dedicating some time to it and it will work out cheaper

 

[cron73]

As someone who built there own pc last year, you get so much more value for money, cos you’re not getting fucked over by the companies charging for labour

chony stark would make his own pc from sand in a cave

In this economy buying a pc is horrible.

I've seen some cases where they're selling expensive prebuilt pcs only with integrated graphics, no other gpu...

Buying the parts yourself will save you from that crap and you won't waste money.
