$1200 computer build (No peripherals).

[Ulfric Trumpcloak]

Been thinking about a new computer but i'm an idiot when it comes to hardware. I've checked some websites that do builds(origin, etc) but they charge $1500 or more for computers you can build for less than 1k, pretty silly imo.

Anyways, can i get a hand building something around $1200.

There is a sub-forum called Computer Build / Upgrade help, this would be a better place for that. In addition, in that subforum is a sticky thread:

Want help with your build? Read me!

Include the following information when posting a request.


Budget
Resolution
Games / Settings Desired
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc)
Country
Parts that can be reused
Do you need an OS?
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)?



Ideally include a list of parts, we see the same request almost every day. There are other topics that have parts lists that you can copy and modify.

You covered budget, an said no peripherals, so I assume no monitors, but don;t know the resolution of your current monitors, so hard to choose a GPU without knowing if you are going for 1080p or 4k. Some games play nicer with some GPUs, so knowing what game syou currently or intend to play helps a lot. Country is a huge help as well. Can not even begin to make recomendations unless I know those are US$, Canadian$ or Australian$.

Well, it says his location is Miami, so I feel like it'd be safe to assume USD.

Excellent build!
Listen to Kostattoo here. It is almost perfect for the price.
The Phanteks is a wonderful case to build in. I have the same one and it is really incredible for the price.
