Save up the rest for a gpu when prices are normal again, but this pc can game OK at 1080p on the iGPU

also, the h710i is way too expensive for a system like this and not a very good case, very little airflow

Big nerd.

At least you have the budget figured. What are you expecting the System to do?

Well first you have to ask what the primary usage of the computer will be. Second is whether you’re willing to buy used or second hand. 
Third, where your general location is, so that we can recommend products based on regional pricing. 
And lastly if tax and other peripherals need to be taken account into.

this.  nzxt looks nice on photos, but in reality they're poor quality, quite ugly and hot as a pizza oven 🔥

The direction tells you... the direction.

not really. H510 has terrible airflow. The P360A is the same price as the H510 but is miles better.

geometry is hard
b550 > x570
