A buddy of mine is looking to put together a gaming rig with a budget of about $1500. Just the tower—no peripherals or anything. If anyone could drop a few build suggestions my way, I’d really appreciate it. 😁

Thanks. I'll give that a shot and let you know how it goes.
EDIT:
@Osmi Thanks a ton—managed to get macOS installed! 😁

I’ve got everything set up correctly—tried it with three different discs, including this one which works perfectly fine.
So, here’s the deal. I wanted to do a clean reinstall of macOS—I’ve done this plenty of times before without any drama—so I wiped my drives, kicked off the installation, and boom: right in the middle of the process, an error pops up saying some files are missing. I killed the install and tried using a different disc, but now I can’t even get to the installer. Every time I boot up, I just get hit with that "BOOTMGR is missing..." error message. It feels like I’m stuck between a broken installer and a PC that won't even start. I’m leaning towards thinking it might be a hardware issue with the drive, but I honestly don't know. If anyone actually knows how to fix this, I’d appreciate the help. Thanks.

Hmm, feels a bit low to me—everything’s running perfectly fine and I paid $897
enough for it.

What would you guys say this is worth? Thanks in advance!
Tried watching it the other day, but honestly? It was such a drag I ended up turning it off halfway through... I definitely expected more from this than what I actually got.
