Over budget but come with wifi and will run Baldur's Gate 3. You can remove memory and use old parts to save $30 (not recommended).

PCPartPicker Part List

This is basically my specs minus the case the app that I used to make the table didn’t have the case I used to build the pc. I forgot exactly what my parts are because I built my system a couple of years ago. I plan on upgrading very soon.

Here's a sneak peek of /r/buildapcsales using the top posts of the year!

#1: [META] Can we get a "Microcenter" tag to add to post to stop getting my hopes up? | 497 comments
#2: [NSFW] [Controller] Steam Controller - $5 (90% off) | 784 comments
#3: [META] Amazon delays shipments of nonessential items in the US by up to a month | 552 comments

^{I'm a bot, beep boop | Downvote to remove | Contact me | Info | Opt-out}

I contacted the r/buildapcforme mods and they removed one of the link shorteners from the ban list, but they told me to just take out the link shorteners entirely.

Here’s an example:

As you can see, the links to the parts are displayed as amzn.to, which triggers the link shorteners bot. If you could somehow change it to amazon.com while keeping your affiliate link, that would be great.

Edit: since you’re on iOS (I am too) here’s a further example. https://amzn.to/2RYUQ7f is used for the empty monitor.

If you did want a laptop I would totally snag this or this. Both have enough hardware to play current AAA titles and will last for a few years for sure

If you do want to part out a PC to build Amazon might not be the most cost effective so check a bunch of different sites to make sure before pulling the trigger (including microcenter if there's one near you). Here's a decent start list though:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 $199.99

GPU: Zotac RTX 2070 $556.43

Mobo: Gigabyte x470 Aorus Ultra Gaming $124.90

RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance 3000mhz $69.99

Storage: Samsung 970 Evo m.2 nvme 500GB for OS/select programs $89.99

2TB Seagate Firecuda SSHDD for library storage, if necessary $59.99

PSU: EVGA 650W, 80 plus gold rated fully modular PSU $97.06

OS: [OEM Win10](https://www.amazon.com/Windows-Home-English-Language-Product/dp/B07TW6G6JP/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=windows+10&qid=1563210474&s=gateway&sr=8-7]. $72.00 Not need if you already have. Pretty sure you can get even cheaper OEM copies out there. Or y'know, other means. Or Linux, etc

Total: $1270.35 including the OEM Win10 which you may or may not need

Missing items: monitor, mouse, keyboard, case. Compared to the prebuilt at $1499.99 that leaves you $229.64 to get a case & any necessary peripherals, upgrade any items on the list, or just pocket the 'savings'

The ibuypower one linked doesn't appear to be that bad. But when reading the comments there are people who got the 8700k version for $1350 (currently $1433, one you linked "on sale" for 1499.99)...so pricing might be misleading. Also keep in mind SI's need to make a profit and usually skimp when it comes to things like cooling, storage and motherboards. I can't tell what mobo that has, but it shouldn't be much of an issue unless you want to overclock, probably not as good components and features as what I listed though. The cooling is actually pretty nice with the cpu watercooling at that price. But not sure on how it is for the other components (ie system case fans). The storage is a bit shit, with a smaller sata ssd and a smaller much slower mechanical hdd. The RAM isn't much better, going off amazon reviews it's basically no name ram at 2666mhz. Also they use a generic 600W psu and apparently the included mouse and keyboard stink. So gotta take the good with the bad but the one I price out looks like a much better option across the board and leaves you room to pick and choose certain upgrades n such

I use asrock boards and ryzen processors, never an issue and plenty powerful. Ryzen + asrock or any asus board really will get you ecc support. Id highly recommend using a supermicro/asrock motherboard in this build.

​

Im using a AsRock Rack X470D4U board currently but I believe they have a x570 one now too

Only thing Id change is Id bump it up to 32gb ram, and for about $30 extra id use a ryzen 3600

took this into consideration and got this. the price did rise 38 dollars but that’s not a big difference in price for me.

any link for the 3600? nm found it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07STGGQ18 .
