If you're willing to spend more than $850, I'd recommend upgrading the processor to the Ryzen 1600. Has the same core/thread count as the new i7, so it will still be able to keep up for several years to come, and at half the price.

I mean if a hundred dollars is gonna actually make that big of an impact its definitely something I'd consider.

lowest specs id go with myself.. its aprox $1100.. you want to get the better gear that will last. not to mention to not cheap out on something else that you will have to change out in a years time. ram is maxed out for speed as per motherboard limits, cpu can still be upgraded to the 1700/1700x, video can still be upgraded but i dont think itll be needed for a while. if you dont need the wifi adapter you can removed it.

You really need to let us know what games you're playing - instead of most games out now...

PuBG vs League of Legends
Hearthstone vs Destiny 2

Like what are you hot hits right now?

Let's say I want to play pubg and destiny 2.


Basically I play mostly league and shit, but if 4 of my buddies hop on discord and say "let's play pubg" I'm gonna wanna play pubg. Pubg just being an example, it's basically "Insert new game people like to play with one another".
