With Black Friday and Cyber Monday around the corner, a friend tasked me with building her a new PC.
Budget: ~$600
Resolution: 1920x1080
Games: Variety of steam games both old and new
Country: USA
No reusable parts, does not require monitor or peripherals or storage drive. (She has an external storage drive)
I gave her a selection of case options and she chose the selected case which is on sale.
Feedback always welcomed.
EDIT - New target build is as follows.
