per system (edited original post)

Hi all me and my brother are planning to upgrade to new computers and I thought I could pick all your brains for deals and thoughts for a Value+ type of build. Aiming for good performance/dollar but not afraid to splurge a bit for that little extra oomph. RGB is appreciated but not mandatory. Timeframe: Within a week. If I see any really good deals I will jump on them and edit this post to include them. Budget (including currency): ~800 US$ per system ($1000 hard limit) Country: Washington state USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: general gaming and some light game server hosting Other details: I currently have a 2070 super and a <1 year old EVGA 850G+ PSU that I don't need to replace but my brother wants to do a whole new build. I would like to get a Motherboard/CPU with enough PCIe lanes to not bottleneck a graphics card and NVME SSD. I would like opinions on a full build and deals if you got them. Motherboard: CPU: Cooler(if needed): RAM: Case: Fans(if needed): GPU: Fast Storage(OS & current games): Mass Storage: Peripherals you want to suggest: Thanks for your time and I look forward to discussing and number crunching with you guys.
