Very first home built computer.

[Maddenman8815]

I’m no stranger to the gaming world and the main comments that are good needed for VR. Only problem is I’ve always gone previous alienware (I know everyone hates Alienware) but I’ve always had very good luck with there products never had to send them out or have something break (except my newest r4 laptop, daughter used back of screen to stand up one time and shattered screen) 

 

what I do know is, if I don’t hear big news coming from team blue after ces. Then I’m for sure going amd ( never thought I’d say that)

 

I also know I’m gonna go big and I really want the best bang for my buck here with graphics, I’m torn been 2060 super or just going balls to the wall 2080 (regular not ti or anything) now Since gen 4 and coming out I’m sure I’ll be able to pick up a 3rd gen for cheaper.

 

But what I’m not sure about is motherboards, and MHz of ram, or difference between itx or atx( I think I’d want a regular atx) and obviously

 

I’d love to hear opinions on what I should do, I’m thinking range of 1000-1500 on the build. (It’s tax time after all right?)

Ryzen 5 3600 + GTX 2070 Super should fit into that budget nicely

Something like this is a good rough outline, but you can change components to RGB if you want, which would add a bit of cost.

Yes it's an M.2 SSD, easier to install and not much more expensive.

The reason it's $200 is because it's 2TB.

You could get a 512GB SSD for $50 and a 2TB HDD for $60 instead.
