Hello everyone,
I'm getting back into the PC world after going through school for several years. I have decided to ditch my school laptop and surface to build a multipurpose PC which will handle my daily usage, working from home, and also be an entry-to-mid-level gaming build (Overwatch, GTA V, and other modern games). I was hoping to have some input from experts on the parts I have selected thus far and any tips.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next few months. Not time-sensitive
Budget Range: 1000-1250
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I prefer Amazon Prime but am willing to go anywhere.
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: After some research, I prefer to use an AMD Ryzen CPU
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, but only in the distant future
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I will be using this desktop wireless for a few months at least, so a good wireless adapter is necessary. I am starting from scratch also so this includes input devices and monitor in the cost.
