$1200(usd) build

 

design me one with these specs

 

NZXT S340 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case

Core i7

DDR4

Nvidia gpu

8 gig of ram

1tb hdd

ssd

 

 

you can go a little bit over the budget idc

 

go nuts

 

 

I would design this myself, but i have never build a 'normal' pc before. Nor have i designed one.

I just want you guys to give me some inspiration and give me an idea of what a $1200 pc might contain.

This is for a friend btw, who basically just wants to play fallout on high settings

I wouls suggest an AMD R9 390 instead. I picked 16GB RAM because some games suggest at least 12GB of RAM for smoother gameplay which will be more in the future.

i meant at least 8 gig ;P 16 gig would be better because you can actually tab out of games without your pc dieing
