Gaming budget build

Hey folks!

 

Been a while since I built a PC and this time I’m back at it to build a pc for:

- mostly gaming (I like open world games like GTA V)

- I like to be able to switch out from gaming to videos quickly and my laptop cpu is a bit weak to handle that

- I may edit videos here and there but it’s not major

- I’m a tab keeper so I keep those tabs open on chrome 

 

budget wise I’m thinking about 1.2k max. I have an SSD, one sata and one m.2 from my laptop I can use so I went with the following specs:
