[Joey t hill]

I am building my very first pc and I want to be able to heavily mod and have a ENB for games like Fallout new Vegas. Does anybody know a good computer build that is around 800$-900$?

Tower Only? Need peripherals? OS?

Older games like single core performance, so i went intel at this price.

I have also heard rx5700s don't like older games, so i went 2060.

Tower Only? Need peripherals? OS?

For it all I’m willing to spend up to 1000$ on the tower alone and around 100-200$ for peripherals

Ignore the warning, the msi max mobo will work with the 3600 without a bios update needed.

The 3600 has superior single and multi core performance than the 2600 or 9400f.

Very good deal for a name brand 144hz monitor.

Fallout: NV should work with 21:9 with some modding and the system should be more then enough for some heavy modding.

I'd probably pay the $5 extra so I wouldn't have to pay $80 up front and then have to wait for a rebate but to each there own.

I agree, however the OP might not mind it.

Just a note, the MSI b450 gaming plus max is a better board than the b450 a pro max. They cost the same so go for the MSI b450 gaming plus.
