I'm looking to do a mid-range build with a $400-ish CPU.
Location:
- U.S.A.
Preferred Websites for Parts:
- Amazon, Newegg, B&H, anywhere in U.S.
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
- An all around system --- web browsing, games, programming, movies, music, etc.
Parts I've chosen:
- Case: Fractal Design Focus G --- I am open to changing this, but I need to the two 5.25" drive bays + more space listed below
- Win 11 Home Retail
Parts I want suggestions on:
- CPU --- Ryzen 9 7900X3D --- Intel Core i7-14700K --- or something else
- Cooler --- Prefer water cooling without RGB
- Motherboard
- RAM --- Prefer 32 GB without RGB
- M.2 Storage --- 500GB or 1TB --- Maybe: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1 TB
- PSU --- Maybe: Corsair RM850e --- May add a 3070 or 4070 later.
Parts to be reused:
- GTX 980, or I will use iGPU until I can get a new GPU later on.
- 5.25" drive
- 5.25" device
- 2.5" internal SSD
- 3.5" internal HDD
- a PCIe device (1 slot)
- Monitor
Additional Comments:
- Not interested in RGB. PC will be under desk.
- Not interested in Glass window on case, but I'll accept it if I have no choice (Fractal Design Focus G).
A couple example builds:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ChY4vj --- Intel Core i7-14700K
I'd like to see a few more builds that are sub $1300 with a $400-ish CPU, that will fit the parts above that I plan on using.
