So I’m building a new pc and my budget is around 1000 USD. (Could go a bit above). However I already have a GPU so I don’t need one of those. (GTX 1080). So I have 1000 USD to spend on CPU, Cooler, Memory, Storage, MoBo, PSU, Case. I am not going to be over clocking so I don’t need a unlocked processor. I have all peripherals and monitors.

I’ve been looking at the P400S and the S340 however other cases are fine. As for storage I don’t need more then like a 500 GB SSD/M.2 and maybe a HDD

i recommend the fractal design define c, beautiful case with a simplistic design.

A lot of youtubers say it one of the easiest cases to build in

I may be wrong.

I'd do this:
You can save money by going with the 8400 if you don't need hyper threading.

i agree with this, but maybe add a better cooler..and the fract design define c is way better case all around.

but apart from that i agree with dizmo

I may be wrong.

It's a locked CPU, even the H7 is a little over kill ;)

I don't know if the case is that much better, but it is significantly more expensive.

How much of a difference does hyperthreading make?
