I have been really inactive in the whole pc thing for awhile, When I left my pc was already really outdated, built it around 2007. and tried to play csgo on it the other day and well 11 fps on lowest settings. Its time for an upgrade.
I would like to stay around 2500usd for pc and monitor.
Specific Parts
- AIO CPU cooler
- 1080 Ti Watercooled
- 27" monitor 1440p 144hz+

Pc will be used for gaming, gaming only, I want to be able to run AAA flawlessly and games like Escape from Tarkov, Squad, etc.

Color Scheme, just make it all match
It will be Overclocked

I think I answered everything. IF y'all could help me out that would be amazing, also I was taking a look at some GPU and damn they are pricey right now? be better to buy a lower end card first or no???

This is what I'd build - you can save money doing other brands and such, but this is what I'd do.
Thanks for the thumbs down people.

I personally haven't used a hybrid card but from what I've seen is they are basically a little quieter and cooler. I may go with a hybrid next go around if I plan to OC.

I have the EVGA 1080 Ti SC2 non hybrid and the card is great.
