Im looking at building a computer and looking for a cheap mid range build that will do a good job, i have a build in mind with Ryzen 7 2700X and a 1060 GPU. The thing is, I found the parts on PC Part Picker and the prices vary to much, i need to know a build that doesn't vary to much in price, I have set my budget to anything under $1300

With the Ryzen 2700X prices going back up significantly it's not something I'd recommend currently unless you need the extra cores/threads. For the budget I'd probably go 3600/RX 5700 XT or 2070S but it also depends if your budget also requires monitor(s), peripherals and the OS.

Prices are bound to fluctuate with whatever is happening in the world. It really cannot be avoided. However $1300 should be enough to get you any decent system.

A good mid-range system would start around here:

This will help me decide and i can throw all of this into the website but the price would be a little more because of conversion rates (Australian Conversion)

Dropped the case and down to a 1TB SATA drive. Also swapped out the 3rd gen Ryzen for 2nd Gen and moved to a plain B450 (non-MSI Max).
