$1200 PC Build

[BadCableManagementSkills]

I'm really new to the pc building area. I am in a need of PC around $1200-$1250 plus all the peripherals (Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse and Headphones). I'm primarily using this PC for gaming and a bit of light coding and photoshop.

• R5 3600 provides a solid foundation for a mostly gaming and light workload PC. It's 6c/12t, and really it pulls similar FPS to its superiors in the Ryzen lineup. Great chip for a great price.
• The A-Pro is a solid VRM MOBO at a reasonable price, and it's got BIOS flashback (which you'll need if pairing a 4xx series board with a 3xxx series chip, unless you've got a 2xxx chip lying around to boot up with.)
• Solid NVMe drive for your boot and a couple of games you'd like faster load times on, 3TB HDD for the rest of your stuff.
• RX 5700XT with a solid cooler. VERY solid budget GPU. Will pair well with the monitor.
• MX330 is a great budget case. Solid airflow, good cable management, a PSU/HDD cage. I've got one myself.
• 24" 1080p 144hz 1ms monitor. The Acer series have great color specs. This will be a great gaming monitor, and will pair well with the GPU.
