Budget: 1500
More specific use (what games, what programs): dunno. All of them.
Planned time until purchase: Now or whenever.
Do you need an Operating System?: Yes
Do you have any specific preferred components?: No
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: No
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: no overclocking
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: yes
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 78209

I'm pretty sure he needs everything. Tower, mouse, keyboard, monitor, sweet mouse pad, maybe some headphones. Let's see how much just the tower is for now. I think he'll pay extra for the rest.


Goal: Gaming tower for 1500 flat.

How's that i3-8100? Quad core 3.6 GHz
I5-8400 looks nice too. Don't need an i7.

Of course.

I made a build myself. Mobile pcpartpicker.com is hella nice. Was easy to edit Ghot's build.

Turns out the 8400's stock cooler is more than enough. GJ Intel.

Keep in mind the 8100 and the 8400 have no hyper threading. Other than that...
