So I just purchased all of the parts for my first PC yesterday. I managed to keep the total cost down to about $540 usd with a mix of new and used equipment. I feel like I did okay, just wanted to hear some other opinions! The main goal for the build was to be able to play War Thunder on Ultra settings and at least high on other games like Battlefield if I ever want to.
