Budget USD: 1,500 

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly video games like Cs:go, Tf2, minecraft, and any other games I find on steam

Other details : I want to run at 60-80 fps and thinking of getting a 1080p monitor and mostly playing games I am also having a hard time of finding the motherboard included and if anyone knows where they have some available to buy one please send a link and that's pretty much it so thank you in advance.

  • The CPU cooler isn't bad if you plan to move it between builds, but if you build entirely new builds when you refresh your systems, get a cheaper cooler.
  • Don't get an MSI motherboard. IMO there are better options. Consult a Gamers Nexus/Hardware Unboxed video, they have great roundups.
    Also, why an ITX board in an ATX case? It's gonna look super weird, and frankly, you'll overspend to get considerably less expansion.
  • I'd probably look at another case. That one isn't awful, but it's far from the best, even in it's price bracket. Again, Gamers Nexus videos are a great source.
  • I'd personally get a 1TB SSD, but it all depends on your usage.
