Decided to finally step out of my comfort(console) zone. So farewell Xbox and hello $800 starter build.
I’m still fairly new to this so I don’t have extensive knowledge but I built this around the EVGA 1060 that was given to me by a friend. I plan on using it for now but I’ll probably upgrade in the future.
This is mainly a gaming pc so I plan playing upcoming titles (Cold War, Valhalla, Cyberpunk, etc.) on at least 1080/120fps.
Please Feel free to give any advice. I wanna make sure all these parts are compatible physically when I finally put them together. Also any good monitor suggestions, preferably under $200, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch.
