Best Gaming PC for 1300$ price range?

[Hunny Rockafella]

I am starting to save up for a Gaming PC too replace this piece of junk. Am willing to build it, so if anyone could whip me up a pcpartpicker list with everything compatible and such. Thanks in advance.

Won't suggest any video card right now, you should wait a couple of months for the newer video cards to be released. Do you want : OS & Monitor to be included within that price range ?.

Ive got a Monitor, but for OS Windows 10 is fine

I dont recommend the waiting game, there is always something better around the corner, this would be my recomendation for that price point:

Any specific reason by selecting a 850 W power unit for R9 390 CF ?. The Radeon cards tend to draw more power and i wouldn't mind getting a little headroom, at least 900W~1000W power unit would be the safest option.

As for your build, that case will create furnace by two power hunger Radeon video cards and they will block some drive cages anyway.
