Budget: 1200$
Will be buying most parts, if not all, online. The budget includes the shipping costs, so don't worry about the shipping price.

This PC will primarily be used for gaming at 60hz, 1080p. Not shooter games, he mostly plays WoW Classic.

No RGB or anything flashy required, but it would be better if the build was silent as he does have kids and usually plays when they're sleeping. So I'm thinking maybe CLC.

He won't be needing any peripherals at the moment, just the computer.

Thanks in advance!

Iceland, will buy from US amazon mostly.
I can overclock it for him, but I'd prefer not to since I don't wanna go there to adjust it every time it crashes.
He'll be using cable, no wifi needed.

It'll be shipped ofc but it's still cheaper than buying locally. Saved about 600$ buying things online instead of locally, in the last build you help me with :)

So its 1200 without shipping cause that statement is a tad misleading.

Yeh sorry about that, his budget is 1600$ but I'm assuming the shipping will be 25% of the cost like with my previous build. So a 1200$ budget it is.

Damn, that looks good.

I'll see where I can find the best prices for those parts and let you know if I need any replacement. Thanks a lot for your help man, always appreciated :)
