First Computer Build

[donovanscottmiller]

I am making a new computer. How can I make it better and/or cheaper? My limit is $1000, and I already have a monitor. Also, I would be using the Windows 10 USB to install, no need for an optical drive.

You may want to change that wireless adapter. A guy posted about his the other day. No matter how hard he tried he couldnt get it to connect to anything

too many overpriced components... stock cooler is very good, no need for 3rd party cooler.

[Calvin7]

AMD Ryzen 3
Model number 1200
Supported memory: DDR4-2666

Faster memory is used for OC.

Honestly get rid of the cpu cooler, and go with a less powerful power supply. Spend the extra money on more ram (at least 8GB), a better cpu, an ssd or a better gpu.

If its for gaming mainly, intel is better choice atm.
