PCPartPicker

PCPartPicker with changes after suggestions from this thread

 

1. Budget & Location
~$1200 USD. I'd like to go lower if possible but I also want to like the look and still have it perform how I want.

2. Aim

This computer will be used mainly for gaming. I am looking for 1080p at 60 fps and run most games at max graphics settings. I am not looking to run games like Crysis 3 at max but a majority of games I should be maxing out ideally.

I am also not planning on overclocking so put that into consideration.

 

I am also going to do this for my airflow.

 

3. Monitors
1 monitor right now with another monitor in the future (maybe in the next 6 months). I'm basically just looking for a 1080p monitor that looks really good for the price. I will be looking at it for hours on end after all.

4. Peripherals
Other than the monitor, I am not looking to buy any peripherals right now. I am looking to get a mechanical keyboard down the line but I am not sure what switch to get (I plan on heading to a best buy or something similar some time to try all the different kinds of switches).
 

My Current PC: PCPartPicker I built this August of 2019. I'm loving AMD's 3rd gen Ryzen.

I'd like to keep the same case.

Why such a large case?

I like the design of it. So maybe this one?

Sure? Pricing's not that good atm though.

Why that Motherboard?

It's cheap and has 4 dimm slots for future expansion?

Also, why a non Modular PSU if it is a smaller case? Wouldn't I need the extra room for air circulation?

It doesn't actually make that much of a difference if you can properly cable manage.
