I have the money for a more expensive build but I wanted to stay within my budget and be as close to 900 as possible, maybe even closer to 850 but that didn't happen. Decided to go with 8GB RAM instead of 16GB because it seems that with most games currently the difference is negligible.
I went with a 240gb SSD for the OS and a few games. The 1 TB HDD is for games that don't have really slow loading so I can deal with having them installed on an HDD.
The RX 480 4GB is currently out of stock everywhere so I'm going to wait for the aftermarket cards or for the reference cards to be back in stock, whichever one comes first really.
Thank you
