My first build was done back in 2013 and I have only replaced components when old ones start failing. Recently I’ve run into a very odd issue I’m having trouble diagnosing, which has made me begin a new build as I’ve been wanting that for a while. I’m reusing my SSDs as I have 3 of them from over the years in good health checks, the GPU as it’s good for my needs and saves on the biggest expense for me.
I mainly do software development, non graphics related, but still dable in many different games though it’s usually Minecraft funny enough which is CPU hungry. I haven’t decided a total budget probably around $600-$800 total. I’m not going for a budget build but am still budget consious and don’t need a crazy build, just enough to let me play some video games at decent settings and do AWS work (which doesn’t needs me to have a beefy PC). I’m not in a rush and can wait weeks to a couple of months but not half a year or more.
I already reserved the CPU and MOBO at microcenter based on a bundle deal from buildapcsales or Reddit. Am unsure about the case, PSU, and MOBO cooling to use. I do think PSU is probably another important component I should spend most of my budget on. The part list is as follows right now:
