So I recently made a plan to make my first gaming PC for around 850$ that can run most modern games at 1080p on High Settings,just the tower only, no optical drive or operating system. I was thinking if any experienced people know where to improve it. E.g. change some parts for others, improve the performance keeping the same price or cut price but keep same performance. Also notes on how future-proof this build may be can be extremely helpful.
P.S. The video card may not be available to get in America or Europe, but I am able to get my hands on it in my country (Thailand). Also when I price each part, the price is how much it costs locally here in Baht (Thai currency) shown/turned to dollars.
Thanks for reading and helping!
