a build i did for a friend last week despite telling him its a bad time to get grafics cards

[Gamin Guage]

So my friend asked me to build him a computer with a budget of 1600 for components (then a 500 budget for desk chair headphones)
i told him now is not a good time to buy grafics cards they are way overpriced.
he then proceeded to literally slap me with an envelop with 1600 dollers in it

i proceeded to get as many of the parts used as i could (monitor case cooler ram drives) which i got an excellent deal on im personally not willing to gamble with the other parts used

got all the parts went to his house proceeded to spend about 45 minutes putting the pc together and 4 hours cable managing his setup

i did it all with a drill zip ties some foam pads(for the bottom of furniture)
i used the foam pads so i could make a hole under the monitor stand and route the monitor cables through there

i then used a drill to make holes to route zip ties through and separated the cords into
  peripherals(mouse keyboard and usb hub)
  monitors (hdmi and power)
  and pc power

everything plugs into the power bar and that leads to the outlet on the wall

the guy who paid for the computer is the one taking the pictures (he is just such a good photographer jk)

in the end i asked for 20$ and pizza he gave me 150$ pizza and a hug...i am ok with this

no theres nothing wrong with 4 cores there also nothing wrong with getting more for the same price but since he got it on sale 4 cores make sense

Gotcha, thanks - did not realize that's what people used until now ;). Bit baffled over the pan however ;). What was the plan with the cable management in that way?

SSD is a bit small but considering the times there's not much better you could've done.

 

Obviously wait because of GPU but... Your friend sounds a bit impatient

If you're talking about Ryzen instead for the same price, I wouldn't even bother especially for a system for someone else. Ryzen is extremely picky and has a lot of issues with regards to stability. Stuff you would rather stay away from for a system that isn't close by.

Fair enough. I've had more luck with Intel in terms of just getting things to work the first time. With AMD it's always been like...oh... it didn't like the fact that I had the RAM in slots 2 and 4 instead of 1 and 3.

just a gaming pc he should be fine

Honestly, Ryzen is stable yes, but some games just seem to hate AMD CPUs, such as Arma 3.
