Get a 8gb flash drive then the windows media creation tool from microsoft, finally buy a license key from ebay for 3$ for your OS.

that’s a good and cheap way to grab windows — compatibility section mentions that it’s not confirmed whether or not the case will fit the graphics card. how big of an issue do you think that would be?

That gpu is tiny my dude, it will fit.

would this be a decent PC to play games over the next few years? or will i find a lot more longevity by saving up a few hundred dollars and making the budget $1500? or would that be overkill for my needs

I mean we can't predict the future.

This is a 1500$ build. More is always better.

before you purchase anything check actual quantities on mobo/psus etc there is an obvious shortage and you will likely overpay right now for a lot of stock that is ready to ship

that sucks :/ i don’t really have the option of waiting super long for prices to change as i gotta replace my PC ASAP but overpaying is always a shame

all three things he has listed and show as best buy stock are all out of stock

x570 mobos, psus and many video cards are all in short supply

So buy from another retailer and not just best buy.
Only thing is an issue atm is the mobo/gpu, which he can simple pm me about and we will switch it out.
Take like 1 min to find another compatible one for maybe an extra 10-20$.
