So I am trying to help a friend build a pc and he is looking to spend about 750 on a pc and I am having some trouble build a good one for that price because he wants it to be with intel and nvidia and if anyone has a build with that for this price it would really help

Wait.

  • New Intel processors are coming. The i3 will be a very enticing option.

sadly that title is a bit of an oxymoron at the moment.  Between the currency, the GPU prices, SSD prices, RAM prices, and who knows what else might be messing things up at the moment, that's going to be difficult.  Can you at least convince him to go AMD on the CPU?  I think you'll get more for your money in the budget range you're targeting.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

That is painful to look at.  Not like you put things together badly or anything, just that it could be so much better with just a little more cash in each category >_<

$703.63

your friend will be able to play games at 1080p with this build 

Feel free to reduce cost by removing the SSD - although it will help in the long run to have it

room for upgrades later
