New small pc build.

[Benito593]

Budget (including currency): $1000

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 1080p gaming

Other details  Given the recent graphics card shortage, I’m struggling to figure out what I want there. I have a Lian Li TU150 laying around. Plan to build it in that. What parts should I pick? I was thinking maybe going with a 1060 or a 1070 for the GPU. Let me know what y’all think!

If you're going 1080p gaming, a case that small will sadly not work. A 1070 would work, but I do suggest using a 1660 Super.

Try considering this:

If you want to get the GPU at MSRP, I advise waiting till scalper prices drop.
