One last thing, what size do you want? Mini, mid, or full?
If you’re just wanting the smallest functional build I’d just get a mini tower but if you want a more flashy display and you have the space then I’d get a mid tower.

I'll have the space so it doesn't really matter, I don't think. But if having a mini would make upgrading parts in the future difficult or anything like that then I'd prefer to avoid it. Not really sure how that stuff works

Mini tower are definitely more difficult to work in.

I’ll put together some mid towers

Finally got around to making the $1500 build

this build should be able to keep up with modern games for a few years

List includes a 9th gen processor, a 390chipset mobo with a decent bios, 16gb of 3200mhz ram, a liquid cooler, case fans, an rtx 2060 gpu, a 250gb sata ssd (for hosting os), a 1tb m.2 pcie ssd (for games/files), 550w 80+gold power supply (you only need a 450w supply but this gives you room to grow!), a 144hz 1ms response monitor (not 4k. also, 24in), a mechanical wired gaming keyboard, a wired laser gaming mouse, and some basic speakers(they have a sub )

everything in this list is compatible and will fit together/work together at peak performance.

the ram is tested with the motherboard/cpu

cooler and gpu are verified to fit in case.

you can remove 2 of the coolermaster case fans if you want. 2 of them are meant to replace the fans on the radiator for the liquid cooler.

You may also want to add thermal paste (about $7) because most cpu coolers come with it preapplied but it's usually pretty dried out. You can just scrape that off (use a credit card or something. Do not use anything metal) and apply thermal paste yourself. (please don't use thermal pads. They're horrible)

let me know if you have any questions. I probably won't be able to get around to the $1000 build until tomorrow.

There’s no cooling in those builds...

nothing on your list comes with a stock cooler.

For anyone building a pc DO NOT RUN YOUR PC UNDER ANY LOAD WITHOUT A CPU COOLER!

I'll pm you about your build.
