? That's fine? The case and what not are still bad options.

FOV wrote Plus, I'm not bringing the PC anywhere. I'm not staying on campus for college, I'm staying at home because the college I'm going to is like 10 minutes away.

Alright, so ATX isn't really an issue then, but the 750D is still a horrible choice of case.

FOV wrote Plus, this is going to be the first PC I build, so you're right, I should order all around the same time so I don't misplace things or whatever.

No, misplacing items isn't an issue at all. The issue is that new things will release by the time you finish buying everything and you'll have a mismatched system, not misplaced.

FOV wrote I have a lot of positive speakers with Logitech speaker systems, because I like to play loud music and the subwoofer is the best I can find for the price.

A $70 or so set of speakers from Logitech will be horrible. I had the higher end version of those Logitech speakers, and they still sucked. Get some proper speakers and you won't even need a subwoofer, but you'll still have the option to add a significantly better sub to the audio set-up in the future.

FOV wrote The monitors are nice but they can wait. I'm currently running 2 ASUS monitors I got from my moms boss' law office. They have 2ms response time and they're great.

Those BenQ monitors are the opposite of nice. They're low quality, over-priced trash. 1080p would be ridiculous with a $2k budget, and TN panels are terrible. You can easily get a 144Hz 1440P IPS monitor within budget, and use your current monitors as side panels if you wish. Ignore response time, it's as good as irrelevant. A 60Hz panel takes 16.7ms to update the image on screen. Where response time matters more, is in monitors with higher refresh rates

sanctyys just racist towards razer but with reason

Just the keyboards really since they use crappy Kailh switches, or their own crappy switches. Whatever they use, is inferior to Cherry MX and they over-price their keyboards. I mean, everything else from Razer is over-priced too, but other stuff from them isn't terrible, like the keyboards, just over-priced.

OP- This is essentially pointless as you absolutely should not be buying anything yet. Once you have all of the money you're spending saved, come back here and ask for an up to date system with your budget.

I didn't include an optical drive, a wi-fi card, the webcam/chair, or your OS. You can get your OS for $20-$30, don't pay more than that. I'd recommend a wired connection, as opposed to wi-fi, but get a wi-fi adapter if you want. I wouldn't bother with an optical drive, they're obsolete these days, but you can get one if you wish. Mouse mat is whatever, get the Razer one if you wish. I have a Corsair MM200E and love it, it's what I'd suggest, but mouse mat doesn't make a difference really. I wouldn't suggest spending so much on a "gaming" chair, but whatever. The Logitech webcam is fine.

What I suggested, is $250 cheaper part for part, and is better. K70 RGB keyboard with proper Cherry MX switches. Nice RGB mouse, that's not incredibly over-priced, like Razer mice are. Significantly better quality speakers and headphones. If you need a mic, you can get an AT2020 USB for $100-$120. Or better yet, the XLR AT2020 and an audio interface(also, around $100). I included a 1440p 144Hz IPS monitor, but you could go with 4k 60Hz IPS instead, if you'd prefer, or 3440x1440 ultrawide IPS. SLI support so you can easily add a 2nd GTX 1070 at any point if you wish.

Again, this is just a guide.
