Looking for a new PC, Check out several of these builds I have put together om PcPartPicker!
NOTICE: This is to be used as a general guide AND buying these builds if you wamt but you need to research first before you buy any PC also.
chesterbigbird:
I think the main reason behind the thread is to help people.. but should only be used as a helpful guide. There is multiple configurations people can do.. and some parts are better then others. If anyone is searching for a new pc.. they really need to research first.

All these builds are 100% customizable

    I can also configure a desktop for you, but I am not as experienced as @chesterbigbird. :p

    Not sure if you're interested, but I'd reccomend this. It's $1039 dollars but you'd have to search for it on the US site (I'm in the UK)

    https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/guide/wnttt6/modest-gaming-build

    I'm not sure wether this thread is to help people or for a PC you want to buy, but either way I think it'd benifit someone.
