Hi, could you guys put together a build for me under $1667? I don't need a monitor, just looking for something mainly for gaming. Thanks.

I'm actually in the same boat—it would be awesome if we could find some shops that offer installment plans or financing...
I'm looking at a max of $5,000, though ideally, I'd love to stay under $4,600... thanks!

Shipping is basically free at almost any retailer these days, so there’s really no point in limiting yourself to one specific city when everything is handled through online shops and delivery services anyway.

As for the build itself, I wouldn't change a thing. If you really want to drive the price down, the only move would be swapping in a 500GB SSD and calling it a day. Best Buy That would shave about $300 off the total, but you'd end up with half the storage space.

I don't really see how an RX580 holds up against a GTX1650Super

That’s weird. When you select the 1650S in the sidebar filters, it doesn't even show up. The first one that pops up for me is an ASUS model for $486. It has half the NVIDIA compared to similar performance levels, but costs more—so I just went with the 5800XT instead (plus it has a better cooler). At this rate, for $67, the 1650S is definitely a worse deal than the

[QUOTE=Adam Moore3;81430195]Honestly, shipping is basically free at almost any online retailer these days—there’s really no point in limiting yourself to just one local shop when everything is handled through webstores and delivery anyway.

As for the build itself, I wouldn't change a thing. If you're looking to shave some money off the total, the only move I'd suggest is swapping in a 500GB SSD instead. CLICK That would drop the price by about $50 or so, though you'd be cutting your storage space right in half.[/QUOTE

Got it, thanks for the input! I think I'll go that route—grab a smaller SSD and just pick up a 1TB hard drive for extra storage... thanks![/QUOTE]

Also, check out THIS graphics card the other guy linked; you'll get similar performance but with way lower power draw
