PC Build

[LAVNERRX138]

Budget (including currency): 800-900 USD aprox.

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Valorent, Minecraft, Battlefield 2042, some video editing and casual internet browsing, Microsoft Flight Simulator (the latest version), No Man's Sky

Other details: I'm trying to build a decent, value gaming PC, with a lot of bang-for-the-buck. I know how expensive parts are these days, but I want to keep it as cheap as possible.

This is what I would do

12100f isn't that much different from the 12400f from a perfromance standpoint.

The stock cooler should be more than enough for a 12100 but a aftermarket can be bought later for slightly better thermals or better aesthetics.

More storage for ~25 bucks more.

Xt version of the radeon for better performance.

I'm not exactly sure why that psu is that price since you can find 850 fully Modulars for 102 dollars so I just included a 750 watt.
