I PC game on an ASUS Laptop. GTX655 or something like that. I love it- it is big but fits in my bag, and can play any game I want at at least 25 FPS as long as it's plugged in. 30+ almost always. 'Low' settings give me 60 often enough.
... But I want ultra. I feel comfortable enough with my income where I think it's time I get myself a desktop fully capable of playing any game on the highest settings without much issue, and future proofed at least for a couple years. The only problem is... where do I start? I don't know about prices of these things, nor would I even begin to know how to put one together. So I'm appealing to Bnet.
Google found me this one someone made:

I'm OK with the price, but I don't know if that's the best bang for my buck or if it would even be enough to meet the standards I want.
So Bnet, can any of you knowledgeable folks help? I'd prefer it to not bust $2000 in total (parts, monitor, keyboard, whatever). But again, I don't know how much the things really cost.
Also, I came here before Reddit.

The one you posted looks fine burrito. With all the accessories that will bring you to about $2000. A 980 should easily last a couple years, by then the price of them will have gone down and you can just buy another one, run SLI, and you'll be good for another couple years if you want. I'm not really sure about that hard drive, it has no reviews on newegg, you might want to go with something a little more reputable. It's really up to you to get what you want. I like to color match mine, or buy the coolest looking one. Unless your chasing overclock numbers or something you really don't have to be too picky as long as its a decent brand.
