Hey everyone,

Anyone have any recommendations or could help me put together a gaming rig for under $750?
Also, is it possible to have the same shop build it for me and ship it out ready to go? I don't need a monitor or any peripherals, just the tower itself. Thanks in advance!... 👍

You might want to consider swapping in a 1050Ti and an SSD instead; the performance jump is way too big to pass up.

Here’s a solid setup featuring an R3, a GTX 1060, and a 128GB SSD—it's definitely worth every penny.

Newegg offers free assembly and shipping. Just make sure you register the Zotac card on their website to lock in that 5-year warranty.

If necessary, you could also strip away these $20 components (either from the motherboard or maybe just 50 from the case, though I wouldn't recommend it).

Newegg offers free assembly and shipping too. You just register the Zotac card on their website to snag that 5-year warranty.

If you really need to, you could even strip these $20 off (either from the motherboard or maybe 50 from the case, but I wouldn't recommend it)

So does that 5-year warranty mean I'm not allowed to open the case, swap out the thermal paste, or even clean the dust out of the PC?

Actually, that warranty only covers the graphics card if you buy it directly from Nvidia; it doesn't extend to the case or any other parts of your build.

Regarding the GPU, you shouldn't attempt to swap out the thermal paste if there are warranty seals over the screws—but if those aren't there, you're good to go.
