building right now is a bad idea, due too stock. Are you okay with waiting?

If youre selling your main PC to pay medical bills but want a really cheap system to play csgo and dota you can get something a lot cheaper than a GTX 1070 build. Csgo and dota will run well on Ryzen 3400G vega11 integrated graphaics or less. Really a gt1030 can run csgo at 1080p and locked 60fps. Even less than that.

SPEC LIST:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X w/ NZXT Kraken Z73 360mm Liquid Cooler
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3090 FE
  • RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4 x 8GB) 5000MHz CL18
  • Motherboard: MSI MEG X570 Godlike
