Can you build it?

[Nick_422]

I love building computers and I do it all the time. I have a budget of $1200 and would like to see someone else build one for once. If you have some free time, build a beast gaming rig for me to compare to my builds. Open to all (AMD, INTEL, ETC)

Whats needed in the $1200 budget? OS? Monitor? Mouse/keyboard?

It's neither. I'm just curious if maybe Ive been a little stuck in one state of mind and maybe there's some better pieces put there that I'm missing out on

An OS is needed but no other peripherals. Simply a nice case and its components. I just think maybe a fresh mind could bring about some better ideas or better parts to include

ya definitely go check out completed builds or sugguested builds on pcparkpicker. lots of people with builds around that price range explaining why they chose each part
