I am putting together a parts list to build my first computer. I will be using it for programing and everyday use. I also want to be able to play some games. I am wanting to try and get it under $800 if possible. I was wondering if there is anywhere i can trim some fat.

What type of programming are you doing. For gaming alone, you can normally cheap out on the CPU, but it becomes a lot more important for development work.

This but replace the case with phanteks p400a and the cpu with 3600.

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

Quote or tag me so I can see your response
