It's not your desired CPU, and it's 4$ above budget but this I think is pretty good. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QXzn8Y

I usually rest my arm against my case while putting together my PC. I've never used an anti static strap.

Agreed you won't get a really good one for that price, but if you have ten bucks more, this is the one I use and it's way better than a wacom tablet imo. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XH3LC4R/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'd suggest something like this? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PYNRgw 8Gb is enough in my opinion and, like you said you can always upgrade later. This is similar to my old build that I had and I play csgo, and pubg all the time and I could run on really good settings and get good fps.

Yeah I had to put it that way because the ram would've gotten in the way. I might go with liquid cooling in the near future if there's enough room, or go with a another case.

An easy 20 dollar cooling stand could fix that, also, it'll only have heating issues if you run it for like more than 4 hours straight. I don't game on my laptop but pretty much all laptops having heating issues due to it...being a laptop lol.

I was actually looking for gaming laptops for my friend. Here's what I got. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834234954&ignorebbr=1 and https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154234 I think linus reviewed the first one too! You'll have to find it somewhere. This is a little out of your budget but both of these are the best I could find, for low priced laptops.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums and thought I'd add a build log here to show everyone my build! CPU: i7-7700k Motherboard: MSI Z270 XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM LGA 1151 RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW GAMING, 08G-P4-6286-KR, Case: Cooler Master HAF XB EVO Storage: 1 4tb 7200rpm drive, with 500gm kingston SSD PSU: CORSAIR AXi Series AX1200i 80 PLUS PLATINUM Display(s): Two Acer S231HLs and 1 Dell S2417DG 24" QHD 2560 x 1440 144Hz Gaming Monitor Cooling: ENERMAX ETS-T50A-WVS Twister Aluminum 120mm Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2 Mouse: Mionix Naos Qg Sound: CORSAIR Gaming VOID PRO RGB Wireless Operating System:Win 10 Should I SLI with another 1080 or am I good for now?

For your storage space I'd suggest something like a 160gb SSD, and like a 1TB HDD, a 160gb SSD should be good enough for the OS, and HDD's are cheap.

Hi everyone! I had a general question, that's pretty vague but wanted people's opinion on. I've heard people swear by portrait monitors saying that there's less bezels from monitor to monitor while other people say that landscape has a better fov. I'm a software engineer and I find that portrait monitors help me with such things as cmd windows and just programming in general, while it also helps just browsing websites. But I can see the argument for landscape monitors too. The overall question is, what orientation is better for your monitor? Landscape or portrait?

1. Budget & Location For the whole build minus the GPU and Ram, I'd like to be under 550$. I live in the US, in Florida. 2. Aim The aim of the PC is to play causal games on steam, along with games like pubg, and rocket league. I would like the PC to be good for web browsing and just basic day to day workflow as well. 3. Monitors I already have a monitor that is at 1920x1080 60hz 21.5 inches, and I don't plan on getting more monitors in the future. 4. Peripherals Mouse and keyboard are already purchased. I already have windows as well. Additional Notes: I have a part listing here. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LxbMTB and I was just wondering what Graphics card and ram should I buy because I don't want to bottle neck this PC. Is this a good build in general or is there some improvements I could make. I plan on getting a 1060 or 1070 for the GPU, and 32 GB of ram for memory. Any help would be great! Thank you.
