$1500 Budget PC

[Joshua Photography]

It has been 10 years since I purchased my HP Pavilion Elite. Spending the extra money for the Intel i7 980x back then allowed this PC keep up through the years. I do a little gaming but mostly photo editing and am ready to upgrade. My wife finally agreed to a $1500 budget for my build.

This is what I ended up with.

 

CORSAIR CARBIDE 275R
$70
Intel i7-9700K
$340
MSI MPG Z390 Gaming PRO Carbon
$193
MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Gaming X
$280
CORSAIR H100i PRO
$125
Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 1TB
$200
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB
$142
CORSAIR CX750M
$90

 

Total Cost
$1440

I am waiting on two of the parts that should arrive tomorrow. Then I will post some images of my build.

 

This is my first custom build BTW.

Well, I made a few changes to my original parts list due to some great deals I couldn't pass up. All it really added was more RGB options. My build is all done now and I have a stable overclock on both my CPU and GPU. I even decided to vertically mount my GPU because my temps have not gone higher than 65c even when under a full load.

I refuse to believe that the picture of that PC is yours.

 

It's so HD.

I'll take that as a compliment. I am a photographer so I know a thing or two about getting a nice photo.

 

You probably don’t believe this is my first build either. Lol.

 

Here is a horrible cell phone pic for proof.
