First PC Build Under $1000

[BinxMan]

I’m building a PC in a couple months, I need some help on what to get for $1000 or less. I was looking at a 1050ti and a i5 7400 with 16gbs of RAM, should I keep these core components the way they are or should I change some things? Also what are some good budget cases/CPU coolers/motherboards for these parts? Thanks

No need for OP to spend an extra $150 relative to the 1060s MSRP

 

 

You can get this exact build, get a z370 + 8700k, and get a used 980/980ti, and get a better case like a s340 as well as a tier 1-3 PSU

Fr ur kind info....980ti's r currently going around fr $400-500...

U would be lucky if u find it below that price range....

I recently sold one of my 980ti fr about $500

 

Moreover...I HV lately seen that most of the used 980ti hitting the market r coming from mining rigs....so they r not worth it....at that price pt..

 

Moreover....OP cn wait fr the new generations of ryzen CPUs launching in this month.

Are you missing half your keys or somethings   jk

 

you can easily find a 980ti used on locals for 250-300

 

You're right, I totally forgot, he should wait for those 2nd gen CPUs

Ok thanks guys, since I’ll be waiting a month or two I still most definitely have time to be waiting for new parts to be released
