[Lutfij]

All of your submissions seems to be good contenders for The Best Build in this category however I'd like to remind everyone submitting to re-read the rules posted in the Opening Post and tweak your submissions. Notable tasks by some/most of you, would be to change parts with relevant links(adhering to the rules) and also to stick to Amazon and/or Newegg, mixing and matching both if you think it helps. Again, re-read the rules and all shall be clear.

Please understand that we want all of your submissions to go through, at the very least to fall on the eyes of the Juror's. That being said, keep em coming!

prices change but can still get the same hardware (different power supply and different assembler for the video card) seems to be a constant switching on the RX580 at that price point but a constant card there

essentially a reaction based on the poor selection of PSUs, Mobos, Ram, GPU variants and Cases resulting in unsatisfactory builds. By the standards set by LTT forum Build people, a handfull of these would pass.

edit: hopefully people take the time to look into the components chosen, as to not create builds that cheap out on the essentials
