I am putting together a gaming PC with the goal of maintaining stable, 240fps @ 1080p in as many games as possible with a focus on Apex Legends. I quickly put together a build today and would love it if I got a few more eyes on it to see what other people think. There seems to be a little debate on the gaming performance of the 9900 vs 9700. Outside of the CPU, I have chosen the components that I thought would give me the most performance without adding absolutely insane cost to the computer. I suppose I need to add an optical drive to this list to install windows. Apparently, newer cases do not have storage spaces for optical drives.
