4K Gaming PC
Maxed-out detail at 4K for about $2,500
4K is a graphics card problem, so that is where the money goes: a card with 16GB of memory or more, a top gaming processor, 32GB of fast memory, and plenty of storage.
Every part is checked to fit, including whether the case is long enough for a big graphics card.
