I Have a Challenge for the Minds of the LTT Community

[Mattco]

I have about $1000-$1250 for a new gaming PC, I have no idea what to buy, I don't quite know the best parts to buy. Everything will be put together by me at a later date. I would like to know a list of parts to buy(and links would be helpful) and a reason is a part wouldnt be a common pick. These are the rules i have put in place and i THANK YOU ALL for any submission.

I mean, there was a video just posted about your price point. I suggest watching it.

Sadly, tech youtubers usually don't make the absolute best parts list for the price sometimes...

Also for builds use this section next time

I agree for sure, but when a person doesn't know where to start, a good base idea of where to take the build isn't the worst thing to look at.

Or.. Just ask on the forums; like he did..

My humble recommendation:https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hpZvqkYou could add 1tb of hdd storage if needed.

I mean, all the resources are out there. Sites like Logical Increments is usually all people need for these kinds questions. Once the question becomes: what do I need to maximize _____ in my computer? Then can a community really shine and help find smart solutions to a problem.

Thank you all of the help. It was very useful.
