    PC Part Picker List Here I watched multiple videos for different parts of the build process, including LTT’s “No Dollar Wasted PC Build Guide” and Bitwit’s “How to Build a PC! Step-by-step”(more helpful and more in-depth, sorry LTT). Some of the mundane steps were the more difficult and confusing, funnily enough. Like finding the case bag with my screws and everything, because the case manufacturer hides it in the hard drive tray, and screwing in an additional case fan with all of the parts in and trying to hold it up while screwing it in. Some precise parts were also tedious, like figuring out which way to align the front panel connectors and other small tasks like that. This cheap(ish) case actually had pretty good cable management, with holes throughout the inside to route cables through, and that didn’t take long. Looking back, this was any easy(ish) first build, and it turned out well. Nothing super complicated like custom water cooling for my first time, although I’ll look into this in the future. As of yet, I have not been able to successfully overclock it, except for applying XMP for my RAM (my GPU is factory OC’ed). When I tried overclocking my CPU, using Ryzen Master and/or the BIOS, I kept getting blue screens until I reverted all the settings :(. Overall it is definitely fast enough though, and I get around 120-144 FPS depending on the game (COD MW, Overwatch, R6, etc), which is good because my monitor is 144hz. I would definitely say this was an expensive, but worth it first build. I forgot to add that I made sure to have enough RGB, and will add more when I do custom watercooling. I’d estimate that the RGB adds at least 15fps, maybe more . FullSizeRender.mov

    ????? good one! Windows 10 is free. The license is paid. I've been running Windows 10 for free on my iMac for over a year now. There is no reason to buy a license. You are not legally required to, and the only thing Windows restricts is changing your desktop wallpaper, which isn't even really restricted. You can right click an image and click set as desktop. And I don't mind this little thing.

    That looks like a really good build! Do you think one could be a similar price with NVIDIA graphics? I like the features the come with GeForce cards like Shadowplay and stuff

    Ok thanks

    What would the budget increase to (estimate) if I increased it. I am not planning on building this immediately, so prices for RAM and GPUs would hopefully fall

    Idk, not very intensive games right now. Ex: Overwatch, Portal 2, R6: Siege, Resident evil 7. But I would probably play way more games if I had a gaming computer. I currently play these games on PS4.

    Monitor + Keyboard would also be appreciated, as I said I'm on an iMac so the only peripherals I have currently are: and Monitor wise I would probably start with one (maybe upgrade to 2 in the future) and I like high refresh rate (144hz) and I like higher than 1080p (1440 or 4k) but I know those can get expensive.

    Thanks so much guys! I will definitely check these out. Do you have any idea if these machines would be capable of playing VR? Btw I'm on an iMac right now, sooooo no actual games for me.

    I want to build a pretty nice gaming PC for under $1000? Does anyone have some good suggestions for parts? Also I know graphics cards and RAM are extremely overpriced right now. Does anyone have any speculations when the price will fall? (VR capability would also be nice, but probably more expensive)
