Hey everyone... So unfortunately tax season wasn't as lucrative as I would have hoped, so my prior build planning was shot out the window, what I need help with is a build with around a $1100USD to $1500USD budget. It will be used for 1080 gaming, trying to keep the parts as "current gen" as possible. Thanks!
