700$pc

[wolfylikespie]

Budget (700$): 

Country: U.S

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: some gaming would like to run newish games on decent settings. I also do a lot in adobe photoshop and would like to maybe to do some small video editing.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I am trying to build a rig for around 700$ and cant seem to find any builds that have decent specs for the price. I know that covid has driven prices up a lot and was wondering if anyone had any ideas for parts lists.

I might think about a similarly priced gtx 1650s or 1660s, if you do adobe.

PSU prices suck but aside from that:

you can still build a decent PSU. I recommend some cheap used options where possible, since 5000 series Ryzen came out I bet some 3100 and 3300X CPUs are on eBay.
