DIY Build Recommends

[gray_the_guy]

Just had a babygirl and want to get away from console and go and do a build. I do them all the time at work but still have on to call my own. I am on a budget of about 600-800. Any case thoughts??

Hey there. Got a few questions:

• Erm... A number doesn't tell us much if we don't know what country you're making your purchase from. $600 is very different from RM600, for example.
• Are you delegating 600 - 800 monetary units towards the entire PC build, or just towards your case?
• Do you already have your PC build planned out? If you do, listing your build's specs (linking from PC Part Picker's site would be recommended) would make selecting a case a much more streamlined process.
• If you haven't planned out your PC build, what are you planning to use your system for? (Gaming, streaming, video editing, office suite work, etc.)

Sure, that build looks fine, if you're using it for gaming. The Fractal Design Meshify C is a decent case for a decent price with decent out-of-the-box thermals, and a better case if you add more case fans in it. Also noticed that you haven't listed a power supply, not sure if that was intentional or not, or whether you're looking for a power supply recommendation? (I'd check out the PSU Tier List by LukeSavenjie if you are looking for recommendations.)

Haha my bad trying to get used to being in a forum. I like the idea of positive human mutual learning. Yeah the PSU leave out was inententional. I'll be using this system for gaming, and some light workstation tasks like VMWare. I am in my bachelors program for Cyber sec and want something that can be my at home workstation while my HP zbook can be my to go @Eschew
