New budget gaming build

[Nathan Bumgarner]

Hey guys its been a while since my last build and I haven't kept up with much. Looking to do a build for my little cus, round 1000$ budget, cheaper if possible. Any suggestions? Is dd4 the standard now? it was just coming around when I did my last build. I prefer Intel/Nvidia. I was thinking 1060 for graphics, my brother had one and it seemed like a good card for pretty cheap.

ddr4 is the new standard. With your budget, Intel may not serve you well, Ryzen will be a better bang for the money.

Great layout man thanks a lot. Do you think 16 gigs of ram is necessary in a mid budget build

Depending on your usage and when to buy 16gb
you can certainly get 2x4gb for now
