Straight into it.
I'm planning a build for a gaming rig for the first time, up to this point I've only ever bought stock PCs. However, as I'm sure everyone else probably knew right off the bat, I finally realized just how ridiculously cheaper it would be to build myself- better PC for the same price, you know?
It's a bit the budget build, you might consider it? No real overclocking power (from what I can tell? So super new at this so pardon my lack of intelligence)
I've got a list made on PCPartPicker- it checks through with no incompatibilities, but I still want to see what people with real experience say about the components.
PC Build Link
The only parts not listed there that will be going in are some stock fans from my old case (if necessary) and the optical drive in my current rig. I don't plan on using this PC for anything heavy, no 4K, and VR isn't exactly an affordable option right now so that's not a big concern. I just want to run the newer, graphic-intensive games that are coming out at reasonable quality, you know? I've found a lot of those parts cheaper than listed, so the price I'm looking at right now is around $820-$840.
Thoughts?
