Hello Jsp! a few years ago one of you fine people built a computer for my sister and she absolutely loves it, well my younger brother just got his first job and would now like a gaming desktop as well.

these are the parts that were picked for her, I was going to just have him buy the exact same parts but it seems like i cant get a few of them?

So I was wondering if someone would be able to build me an equivalent pc to the one that my sister bought so I can let him know which parts he needs. Dont worry about the os, mouse, keyboard, monitor when following the budget because we have all agreed to buy those for him for christmas(please do recommend ones you think are good though)

900$ budget is just for parts and tower.

Thank you so much for reading!

Went 7600k as he can overclock it later instead of upgrading could/Mobo every 3-5 years when he notices that the CPU isn't up to the task anymore.

Hopefully black/white theme works for you

This way, he will only have to upgrade the gpu (if needed, depending if he switches to gpu intensive games down the road)

Wait for other builds ofc

My attempt at throwing a build together. Went the AMD route, generally a better bang for the buck, but as of now Intel still holds the crown for gaming. Also, between cost savings of mobo + not needing a cpu cooler, was able to upgrade you to a better gfx card.
