Okay /adv/ I've been saving up for a while and have around 2k bucks to spend on building my own PC. I've never actually built one before but I know a god bit about computers (mostly software tho). Anyhow what are your tips for parts to get, brands, or any /adv/ you think I need.

Don't they have a PC building thing on Reddit? If you want advice on a specific subject it really is the best place to go desu.

Just put one together one newegg and call it a day. If you have a good pc store that's competitive you could do that too. If you're going to be building something nice, I'd go for the leading brands like Intel for your CPU and Nvidia for your GPU. Get a well reviewed mobo, PSU, etc. $2k is a fairly large budget for a new build if you're scratch building it yourself. You can always spend more, but that will get you a pretty good rig. I recommend a full size case so you don't have to tetris your components and cables, I did and never looked back.
There are tons of sites that could help you. /g/ could help but keep in mind this is 4chan. PCpartpicker is good. There is a also a reddit that helps. They will either advise you on your build or build one for you. My personal recommendation would be to use a the newest generation Intel i7 or i5 with either a 1080 or 1070 from whatever manufacterer you like. Then just built everything else around that. Get a good color scheme going and a sweet tower. Also make sure to get a SSD for the OS. I recommend MSI parts. Just make sure all the parts work together before you buy them.
