1. Budget & Location

500 USD or less

2. Aim

HTPC

3. Monitors

None, I've got tv.

4. Peripherals

I need keyboard, mouse

5. Why are you upgrading?

Because all I have now is Comcast setup, with reciever, xb360, roku, sonos, DVD player

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

This is just about the least effort one could put into filling out this form.

On mobile. Would've done more, but that took me long enough.
