prompter: Can you please help me build a gaming PC with a budget of $2000 and at least 4tb of storage?

assistant: Here is a list of components for building a gaming PC with a budget of $2000 and at least 4TB of storage:

CPU: Intel Core i7-10700K

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming Z490-Plus

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4

Storage: 2x Western Digital Black SN850 2TB NVMe M.2 Internal SSD

Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular

Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X

Total Cost: Approximately $2000

This setup provides a fast and reliable gaming experience, with plenty of storage and high-end components to support demanding games and applications. The motherboard and power supply are of high quality and will provide a stable platform for the other components. The case provides ample space for upgrades and cooling solutions, if needed.

prompter: Could you please give me the approximate price of each of those components?

assistant: Sure! Here's the approximate price of each of the components in the gaming PC build:

CPU: Intel Core i7-10700K - Around $400

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 - Around $700

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming Z490-Plus - Around $200

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 - Around $80

Storage: 2x Western Digital Black SN850 2TB NVMe M.2 Internal SSD - Around $500

Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular - Around $140

Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X - Around $220

Note that the prices may vary depending on the region, availability and current market conditions.

assistant: The prices are subject to change, but at the time of my training, they are as such:

Intel Core i7-10700K: $253.76
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070: $499.00
ASUS TUF Gaming Z490-Plus: $174.99
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4: $46.99
2x Western Digital Black SN850 2TB NVMe M.2 Internal SSD: 2x $344 or $688
EVGA SuperNOVA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular: $109.99
Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X: $249.99

The overall cost would come to be exactly: $2022.72

To greatly reduce the cost, I would suggest buying a secondhand GPU and CPU from reputable sellers.

assistant: Sure, here's the approximate price range for each of the components in your hardware setup:

Intel Core i7-10700K: $300 - $400

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070: $500 - $800

ASUS TUF Gaming Z490-Plus: $200 - $300

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4: $100 - $150

2x Western Digital Black SN850 2TB NVMe M.2 Internal SSD: $400 - $600

EVGA SuperNOVA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular Power Supply: $100 - $200

Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X Case: $200 - $300

These prices are approximate and subject to change based on various factors such as region, availability, and current market conditions.

assistant: Here is a rough budget for building a gaming PC with your budget of $2000:

$1200 - GPU, get a relatively nice one, but don't try to impress your friends. You can find reviews online for how different GPUs compare for the games you play.
$250 - CPU, get a mid-tier CPU, you don't need the most recent or expensive one. 
$110 - Motherboard - check that it works with your other parts
$90 - RAM - probably 16-36 GB works well
$80 - Case - Make sure to get one with enough airflow for cooling your parts
$120 - Cooling - either Fans or an AIO (All In One) unit. 
$130 - Storage - either get one 4TB SSD or a smaller 500GB-1TB SSD for your operating system and a separate HDD with storage for games. 
$10 - Thermal paste for your CPU, if it doesn't come with your CPU already,
$130 - Peripherals like mouse, keyboard, or monitor, if you don't have them already.

These may change depending on what you already have and what specific games you want to play, plus what the current market for these parts is.

prompter: Thanks, this is excellent, although I wasn't clear in needing a budget priced in AUD$. Could you recommend me specific models for each to your specified budget which are also currently available in Australia?

assistant: its difficult as the specification of gaming PC are kind of costly and 4tb of storage is really huge.

prompter: Please try to do this. Give an example of CPU, RAM, graphics card, hard disk, etc. with cost of each part. Please recommend the best parts possible, matching the budget.

assistant: I recommend using https://www.logicalincrements.com/ for a detailed breakdown of various options for PC builds at different price points. As of 6th February 2023, the build listed at the $1,803 "Exceptional" tier is as follows:

 - Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z790 UD
 - CPU: Intel i5 13600K
 - GPU: ASROCK AMD Radeon RX 6900XT
 - RAM: Patriot Viper Venom 16GB DDR5 (2 x 8GB)
 - PSU: EVGA 850GQ
 - CPU fan: be quiet! Dark Rock 4
 - Case: NZXT H710i

Depending on your needs and budget headroom, you could order a single 4TB HDD, or buy two 2TB SSDs. Or, mix and match a 2TB HDD and a 2TB SSD.

If you are living outside the US, be aware that this resource is US-centric around a single vendor (newegg) and does not account regional availability, regional pricing, and regional import tax. I have omitted pricing details and URLs, as the information in my training set may not be up to date and I am unable to access the internet to verify up-to-date pricing.

prompter: As you pointed out, that website is US based. Can you provide a more EU friendly alternative?
