Perfect. Just what I needed. Thanks for both of your inputs. I'll look over everything closely tonight and make my decision. Appreciate the detailed feedback. Craig

Removing the storage options, I have about $800 to build the system. I have a 250GB NVMe M.2 which I want to put the OS and cycle between 1 or 2 games on there. I also have a 1TB SSD and a 1TB Mechanical Drive for everything else. Here's where I put my money allocations: MB: $100 Processor: $175 Ram: $75 GPU: $200 Case: $75 PSU: $75 Storage: $100 Monitor: $150-200 Total: $1000-1100 Oh, and keyboard, mouse, display port cables, etc are covered.

Howdy. 1st time poster, long time lurker. I haven't built a machine in at least 20+ years. I decided to build one for the kids for the holidays. I have watched and read a million videos and reviews, and have decided on the following main setup: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 HDD: 250GB NVMe M.2 SSD MEMORY: 16GB (8GBx2) DDR4/3000MHz MOTHERBOARD: ASUS TUF X470-Plus Gaming VIDEO: AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB 95% of the time these games will be played: Fortnite, CS:Go, Tomb Raider, COD MW, Apex Legends, Red Dead 2. My question is what monitor to get? 120Mhz or 144Mhz? I am looking at a 24-27" monitor as that's all that will fit in the space. I was leaning towards a 120Mhz, as I figure most games will be played in Med to High at 1080p, unless you think the specs above can handle better. Help me get this last detail please so I can finish ordering stuff for Christmas. Thanks in Advance! Craig
