We had some power outages due to a storm over the past couple of days, and my power supply is all fucked up now. Oh well, I was looking to replace my PC anyway because it was so outdated.

I’m lookin to see what you guys would build / buy with a $800-$1200 budget. The only thing I’m keeping from my old PC is my SSD (well, and my peripherals)

What would you build within that budget? Also open to buying prebuilt. Tipping 50fg to my favorite response

What you buy is determined by what you will use your computer... for. What games/programs do you want to run?

prices change drastically in the course of a few days,
2 weeks is too long of a wait to be efficient with your money.

/edit
Additionally what refresh rate and resolution are these two monitors?
