Spend less money on forum gold and save it for your new PC

/e honestly, I would hold off and save up a little more so you can make a PC that you'll be proud of and enjoy using. For just a few hundred more, you could make a substantially better PC, but that's just my opinion. Just stash like 100-200 per paycheck for the next month or so and come in with like 1200 ready to make a BEAST

With individual components the way they are today due to mining, it's much more reasonable to just go prebuilt.
That hurts to say, but it's the truth.
Plus it saves you the "hassle" of having to build it yourself and installing windows/drivers.

Pre-builds comes with much lower end hardware. Case's have poor airflow, PSU's are low quality and inefficient, mobo's are usually featureless chipsets, slow ram speeds, etc.
Even with component prices where they are, for the same price you could still get a better overall quality PC if you build yourself.

If you wanna stream, this is the lowest I would go: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9BNn7W
