I am looking to build a PC. I have looked at the build options that are offered here on the site. My main issue is I am low on money and plan on using my best buy credit card for the free 18 month financing. Was wondering if someone could help me pick out the proper parts to get a good gaming/streaming rig. I am looking to stream in at least 1080P and have about a $1500 budget. Windows is the preferred OS. Shopping in the US. Also, peripherals and monitor do not have to be included.

If you can, wait a few months. Zen 2 (ryzen 3000) will probably drop in price and there should be nice deals around christmas

If you're formally an engineer, avoid responsibility. That's what senior engineers get paid for.

If you're doing best buy only, see if you can share your store's stock and we can pick a proper parts list from what's available

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

The parts can be ordered as well. Not looking to get all parts from the store in specific. My local store does not carry many options.
