Trying to build a PC for Gaming under 2000 with everything included. Any help?

  1. For gaming the i5 is more than enough.
  2. You can't overclock on a H170 MoBo now that Intel disabled SkyOC
  3. The Seagate 3TB is the worst HDD you can get right now, it's failure rate is the highest of the most recognizable brands.
  4. The MoBo already has an intergrated soundcard, you don't need an expensive one. Depending on your audio solution just get an headphone amp.
  5. The MoBo has a wired ethernet port.
