It's that time again! Time to update the BestConfigs! Once again, we are opening the field to user recommendations to get the best consensus for the absolute best of the best in each category. This time, we're going to limit builds to price points, rather than function, as most rigs are geared towards gaming. We're also going to drop the term "BestConfigs" and simply go with "Best PC Builds", since that's way easier to understand.

Your challenge is to create builds in any of the following eight brackets:


  1. ■Best Gaming Build Under $500
    ■Best Gaming Build Under $750
    ■Best Gaming Build Under $1000
    ■Best Gaming Build Under $1250
    ■Best Gaming Build Under $1500
    ■Best Gaming Build Under $1750
    ■Best Gaming Build Under $2000
    ■Bonus: Best Steam Machine Build Under $600

With these ground rules to follow:


  • ■Do not go over budget.
    ■Use only Amazon to source parts - we already use Newegg for the SBM, sorry.
    ■Use list prices only: coupons, rebates, bundles or any other limited-time offers will not be accepted.
    ■Do not include shipping or tax in your final budget.
    ■Do not include the Operating System, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse or Gamepad (Steam Machine).
    ■Do not put your forum handle in the name of your build, and avoid odd capitalizations & symbols.
    ■Provide linksto the Amazon product pages of each component — we encourage users to use PCPartPicker's System Build for speedy construction. Do not post a link to your build, but rather please be sure to export as BBCode for a quick copy/paste to the forums.
    ■The Steam Machine must be around the size of current-gen consoles and have Wi-Fi.
Once all of the builds have enough submissions, we’ll close the threads and our Community team will filter the submissions for adherence to the ground rules. Next, our Editorial team will filter the builds for compatibility issues (e.g. PSU won’t fit together with graphics card in case). The remaining rigs will be put up for public vote in the forums, and the top builds in each thread will go on to become our Best PC Builds!

Please be sure to format your list of components as follows:

Build Name
Good luck, and may the best builds win!

Case & PSU are pricier than most, but keeps in line with the "same size as current gen consoles". Not too many that are genuinely as small as XboxOne or PS4.......I guess the rules aren't too clear on how much discrepancy there can be sizewise.

Thoughts on build: Though I'd imagine most older generations would already know about Steam Engines and the sounds they make, but for pehaps some in the youger generations whom have missed out, the "Whistler" build name was chosen given steam train engines typically have whistles connected to their boilers that make the sound "Choo Choo". No seperate cooling was required as the i5 comes with it's own fan. Though the storage may appear low, it's very easy to add external HDD/SSD via USB (this allowed this build to focus on speed with the other components). Though I could have gone for a higher performing GPU, given that style was also a consideration for the Steam Build, I've instead allocated a little more budget to a stunning chassis!

With a slightly higher budget, my recommendation would be to bump up the SSD Size (an extra $3 will double it from 32GB to 64GB! and/or add an internal HDD). If you're plugging in a lot of things, would recommend upgrading to a larger PSU.

Does the WIFI need to be onboard the Motherboard, Motherboard with Screw-on Rotatable Antenna, PCI-E Card With Screw-on Rotatable Antenna or USB Dongle?

Doesn't matter. All it needs is some form of WIFI (I suggest a good quality unit, it will up your chances of winning).

Thanks TechyInAZ for the quick reply. I'll try re-do the build in the next day or so, hopefully incorporate a Silverstone ML08 or similar chassis, just have to figure out what to sacrifice...

I am assuming that a more powerful PC in the house is doing the rendering and streaming to this "Steam Machine". This machine will also have enough storage for media content.

Most people seem to be using PC Part Picker which is not listing price. When you mean listing price do you mean the originial listing price or the price that is going for right now.

For example the original listing price for a Seagate Barracuda 1 TB is above $100 but currently it goes for $50.

The build i did uses original listing price, however since everyone else is not using the original listing price, so i was wondering if it was accepted in the rules.
