Ryzen 5 1600AF with RX570 competitive settings is 144fps iirc. But just to be sure check YouTube benchmarks

 Build above is assuming USD and no monitor/peripherals.

 

 

For the actual build, it isn't too bad. If you follow a good tutorial like the one below you should be fine.

Bahaha...I just quoted this exact build to someone, except for the case. Nice case though.

Hey don't be too scared.   I hadn't built a computer before and I was able to.  A few mistakes of course but nothing major.  i did post a thread in the build logs talking about my mistakes and how I fixed them as well.  Kinda long read though -

 

Definitely watch videos from BitWit (shown above), Paul's Hardware, JayzTwoCents, and LTT.   I would also recommend the POV build video:

 

Also ask questions about anything you are not understanding here on the Forums.  I annoyed the LTT folks and they graciously answered all my questions.   Really good folks here.

So...something like a Dell G5 is about as good as you're going to get for your price point.

 

For $1200, you probably won't get something that does 150fps if you go pre-built. $200-400 of your money is going to pay for profit and assembly.

 

Also, with a prebuilt, companies aren't going to be putting premium parts into the PC - it'll be a power supply from a company you've never heard of, the cheapest graphics card that's still technically a 1660ti, the cheapest and slowest 16Gb of RAM they can get, etc.

 

Just good enough to last through the 1, 3, or rarely 5 year warranty.

Yeah... the 3600/tomahawk max/2070super is becoming the standard for $1100ish builds.
