Hello Tom's Hardware-ers, I've been looking to build my first computer since my laptop started dying. My budget is quite low at $390 excluding thermal paste, monitor, keyboard, etc. I put together a few builds, and I have one fairly good one. But there's always a better way, so I was wondering if any of you guys can put together a build for me? I'll be using it for gaming, amatuer 3D animation, and some basic coding. Thanks in advance!
