| I've been looking to build a solid gaming PC for the longest time, without paying full price. My budget is around $1,000, although I could go a little over. I figured that Black Friday and Cyber Monday would have pretty good deals. The only problem I have is that I have no clue which parts to add, and the best parts for my buck. My goal is to have a PC that I can run the newest games at, on high or max settings, while trying to not dip under 60 fps (I guess that is a good goal for fps). Performance is my main concern, although I wouldn't mind some fancy and clean looks here and there, as long as it isn't too much more. For the case, I wouldn't mind spending a little extra on an asthetically good looking case, that also has a few extra features, without paying a ridiculous amount than what I have to. Since this will be a complete build, I also need a monitor, but I have no clue about gaming monitors and which brands are superior to others. Any PCPartPicker list or any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated by me. Links to any products would also be so much help! Thanks to anyone who can help! |

Perfect computer for what you need This PC I just compiled together has great components like the GTX 1070 8GB and Ryzen 7 1700X for good overclocking and the ability to stream! Don't worry about FPS! This powerhouse will not struggle to reach 60FPS on ALL games; you can even go as far as 200-300FPS in some games(Fortnite, Gmod, Call of Duty) You can change some parts if it doesn't fit your budget, but the prices are definitely going to go lower tomorrow so I would check it out. |

So what exactly will the system be used for? What games will you be playing, and what else will you do with it?
Will you overclock? What exactly do you need within budget? Budgt is $1000USD? |

21 wrote So what exactly will the system be used for? What games will you be playing, and what else will you do with it? Well, primarily it will be used for gaming, and maybe one day streaming. But for now, just gaming mainly. And yes, 1000 USD. I wouldn't mind going a little over that though. |

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor ($145.00 @ Walmart) Motherboard: ASRock - B450 Pro4 ATX AM4 Motherboard ($74.99 @ Newegg) Memory: Team - Vulcan 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($99.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Samsung - 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($72.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1070 8 GB FTW Gaming ACX 3.0 Video Card ($329.99 @ Newegg) Case: NZXT - H500 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.99 @ B&H) Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($49.99 @ Newegg) Monitor: Acer - K272HUL Ebmidpx 27.0" 2560x1440 60 Hz Monitor ($179.99 @ Newegg) Total: $1022.93 If the R5 2600 goes back up in price, you can get an R5 1600 for $130. For $145 though, I'd take the 2600 over the 1600. EVGA G2 PSU for $50 is a steal. There's a couple of GTX 1070s under $350/360 right now, but that EVGA FTW for $330 is the best choice for sure. It'll probably be gone soon though so I'd grab it asap. NZXT H500 is a good option, but there's a few good options in the $50-80 price range if you don't like the H500. Couple of different monitor options; pcpartpicker.com/product/wpPzK8/a...umqg7aa001 This is also 1440p, but IPS panel instead of TN. pcpartpicker.com/product/PmyFf7/a...umfg6aab01 1080p, 144Hz, TN pcpartpicker.com/product/wNcMnQ/l...or-25um58p Ultrawide, IPS. I've yet to see someone unable to OC one of these to at least 75Hz. |

Looks like the R5 2600 for $145 on Walmart and Amazon is gone already, so you can get the R5 1600 for $130. If you don't mind spending the extra $30, you can still get an R5 2600 for $160. That GTX 1070 also appears to be out of stock on Newegg, but Walmart have a similar 1070 for $330 if you're quick.

Also, here's an alternative GTX 1070 for $10 more if the Walmart one goes out of stock too; pcpartpicker.com/product/fPFXsY/a...tx1070-o8g |
