I guess you could just grab the cheapest 240GB model available and call it a day.

It could be better. Just let me know which payment method you prefer and if you'll actually need an HDD as well.

Regarding the processor, there might be a bit of a wait involved...

Intel Core i5-8400 (9MB Cache, 2.80GHz)
MSI Z370-A Pro
Gigabyte GTX1060 WindForce OC 6GB, 6 GB DDR5
2x DDR4 8GB (1x8GB) PC4-1700 2133MHz CL15 Kingston Value
PNY CS900 240GB SSD, SATA3
Toshiba P300 High-Performance 1TB HDD, 3.5", 7200RPM, 64MB Cache
FSP Fortron/Source Raider 550W PSU, ATX 2.3, RA550

I’ve got one ASRock Z370 PRO4 motherboard, LGA 1151 socket.
I’ve got one Intel Core i3-8100 (3.6GHz, 6MB, LGA1151) box sitting here.
I've got a single 8GB stick of DDR4 Crucial RAM here, running at 2400 MT/s with a CL17 latency.
I've got one Seagate BarraCuda desktop hard drive on hand—it’s a 3.5-inch model with 1TB of capacity, 32MB cache, and it runs on a SATA III-600 interface.
I’ve got one Fortron Hexa 85+ 450W unit here, which carries that 80+ Bronze rating.
One Zalman Z1, featuring USB 3.0 in black, comes with two 120mm fans.

Total: $1187
I guess I should probably weigh in on this, though I'm not entirely sure if anyone's looking for my take. It seems like we're circling back to the same old arguments again, and honestly, it feels a bit repetitive. I mean, maybe I'm overthinking it, but there's a certain pattern emerging here that most people seem to be ignoring. I suppose it's possible that things could go differently if we actually looked at the data instead of just reacting emotionally, but I won't hold my breath. It’s just one of those situations where everyone has an opinion, yet nobody seems to be getting anywhere. I guess we'll just have to see how it all plays out in the end.

Wouldn't it just be easier for you to grab everything from a single retailer?
The RX 550 isn't really a great value proposition, especially when you consider $267. You could probably get better performance out of a GT 1030 for less money, or maybe look at an RX 460, which is significantly more powerful than both of them while only costing a tiny bit more

You've got an ASUS Prime B350 from that more budget-friendly lineup, which actually comes equipped with Realtek Audio

If you can make use of the case, the price drops to under $6,000

I wouldn't touch a 1060 with only 3GB of VRAM if I were you. Honestly, even in some modern titles, that’s just not enough, and from what I've been seeing online, even for that specific game you mentioned, more VRAM is definitely better. I guess a 1060 with 6GB would be a much smarter move, even though I realize it’s going to cost you a bit more.

I was looking at the DDR4 32GB kit—specifically that 2x16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX setup running at 3000MHz with CL15 timings. It seems like a decent enough option if you're trying to balance capacity and speed, though I guess whether it’s actually worth the premium over something slightly slower depends on what kind of workload you're throwing at it. It's pretty standard stuff, really.
I suppose I'm looking at a 275GB Samsung 870 EVO, running on SATA3.
2TB Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive, 3.5", 7200RPM, 64MB Cache, SATA3
I was looking at this 600W FSP Fortron/Source Hyper power supply unit.
I suppose I should probably mention the Zalman Z1 mid tower case. It’s one of those builds where you have to weigh everything out, though I don't have much to say on it specifically without more context. Maybe someone is looking for a breakdown of how it fits certain components, or perhaps there's a question about airflow? If anyone is actually planning on using this, I guess we could look into the compatibility side of things, but I'll wait to see what people are actually asking before I dive too deep into it.

I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for with that link, but if you're trying to reach the administration or some specific portal, you might be heading to the wrong place. I guess there isn't much context here, so maybe just clarify what you need?

Adding an SSD would be a pretty great upgrade...

You should really head over to YouTube and check out the story modes for both Injustice: Gods Among Us and Injustice 2. I stumbled upon them recently, and honestly, I was pretty surprised by how much I actually enjoyed the narrative. I think I actually had a better experience watching those than I did sitting through BvS.
The whole thing features Supes as the antagonist, which makes the tone feel way darker than anything we've seen in the DCEU. It’s definitely worth a look if you have the time.
I’d also suggest checking out the DC animated movies; there are some truly fantastic titles in that collection.

That Sapphire card only comes with a two-year warranty, which I guess makes it a non-starter for me.
I feel like a graphics card really ought to have at least three years of coverage.

The power supply is missing too, but that’s fine. I guess you could just throw in a B250 motherboard and maybe a 250GB SSD. If it’s even possible, though, it might be worth trying to squeeze an RX 580 in there.

Wow!! Just another magical masterpiece from Disney 🙏
I suppose Zootopia is still my absolute favorite, but Moana is definitely a close second. The animation and that soundtrack are just incredible! You really should watch it in Blu-ray if you can.

I guess that was maybe the first match where the refs actually seemed to be on our side for once.

I suppose I'm looking at one Intel Core i5-7400 (Kaby Lake, 3.0GHz, 6MB, LGA1151) retail box.
I’ve got one Asrock LGA1151 H110M-DGS sitting here.
I've got one Gigabyte GF GTX 1050 Ti OC available, featuring 4GB of GDDR5 memory.
I’m looking at a single 8GB stick of Crucial DDR4 RAM, clocked at 2133 MT/s (PC4-17000) with a CL15 latency, single rank.
One Fortron Hexa+ 400W, 80+ unit.
I've got one 1TB Seagate Barracuda hard drive here, featuring 64MB cache and running at 7200rpm, which I'd classify as High-Performance.
I’ve got one ADATA 240GB SP550 SSD sitting here.
I’ve got one GIGABYTE Mid-Tower ATX case here—it's the GZ-IF238R model with an ABS and steel build. It comes in Black and includes two 120mm fans.

The total comes out to $5,472.06.
I suppose there isn't much to say about Futura-it, though I guess I could attempt to weigh in on it if necessary. It’s just one of those things that sits there, neither particularly remarkable nor entirely useless, I suppose. Maybe it serves its purpose for some people, but from where I’m sitting, it doesn't really jump out as anything special. I don't know. It might be worth looking into more deeply, but I haven't found much reason to dive in just yet.

This should probably do the trick...

The i7 models are actually dual-core chips with a lower TDP. This i5, on the other hand, is a quad-core, which makes it significantly more powerful, though I suppose it does pull more power too.

I’d definitely go with a new monitor, but personally, I think an Intel Core i3-6100 makes more sense here. It’s plenty capable for these kinds of tasks and should hold up better over the long run. Honestly, it isn't much weaker than the FX8300, which might be worth considering if you were doing heavy multitasking, but that doesn't seem to be the goal here.
