I’m going to be building a new rig for gaming that I will later upgrade (If needed) in about a week.
My price range is looking like max 1,200- 1,400 (cheaper is always acceptable)
Any comments, recommendations, or suggestions are much appreciated
As previously mentioned I will use this rig primarily for gaming but will also be doing on and off Photoshop
