Thought this was a fun build for around $1000. Not the cheapest, but has room to grow
-
Not the cheapest, But would be a great upgrading path and allows for 60+FPS in any AAA game.

I would love to use a PC like this to play Elden Ring :) Unfortunately my current card and processor are not strong enough to play it, even though I already bought a copy haha
-
Could be pretty sweet to build this.
-
I run a small stream team. I edit videos for them and all i need is a new Gpu. Im currently rocking a 1050ti since i built my pc and upgraded from a dell optiplex. parts in this build was made using things my brother and misses have in their setups. https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=44aebfbc-bf1c-4960-bfee-107e56c4421f

I think this might be kinda expensive but I think its cool
-
If I had the money, I would get this hah. Current PC isn't running games the way I want.
-
Solid gaming budget build considering what even a budget build costs right now. Would handle whatever you need at 1080p.https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=6c9cb748-042c-4b6c-b04b-69c4de4c8db0

This is what I would buy if money was not an issue, I have alot of similar parts already in my rig. Obviously the GPU was already chosen.
So many great parts these days, golden age of PC Building if it wasn't for supply shortages and price gauging

This would be a great 2nd machine.
-
My current pc can barely play minecraft, having a new pc would be pretty amazing!
-
This would be a dream build especially with my current monitor at 1080p 144hrtz. I would be able to finally play games with my friends that require a GPU so I’m no longer stuck on Minecraft and Valorant!😅

What I wouldn't do to take my gaming into the next generation, with a state of the art build that will allow me to keep from choosing quality or efficiency. Gorgeous
-
-
This would be my dream PC with the current specs, down the road I would love to build another pc with AMD Ryzen 9.😎
-
This would be a great little stream and gaming rig!

this build would make a great 1080p AAA gaming system or if you're like me and stream, this would be a great 2nd PC to use as a streaming PC. Best of both worlds!
Why did I choose each part:
CPU: It's a Ryzen, say lessMobo: it's small but still has everything I need for a streaming setupRAM: 16gb is more than enough for the average personSSD: Intel's m.2 SSD both read and write speeds are just what I'm looking for at the right priceGPU: The RTX 3050 offers enough power for 1080p gaming and can also be used for streaming your awesome content.PSU: it's semi-modular and offers more than enough power for my components.
Case: it's a Micro-atx case that can fit in small spaces, affordable and still has a window! -
This Build Would Be Great For Tasks And gaming And Streaming while having good temperatures,This case has good airflow and the psu wont blow up in your pc. https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=b39b8284-68c0-446b-a2ac-a98fbe60334d

Would love to have that 3050 tearing through what needs to be done!https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=d541234d-0e3d-42ea-ad86-663ec5acf921

Built a decently priced entry-level gaming build with some room for upgrades!
-
Well since we are all dreaming, here is my ideal set up. Who knows, maybe dreams can come true. But this would do me good for a couple of years.
-
This computer would be a solid 1080p gaming system. Who needs more these days?

Building this to update my 9 year old machine that has been a workhorse for audio and video production, with gaming and streaming being a side hobby. Looking at getting up to date to keep up with the advancing software that is coming out. Getting a decent graphics card has been hard because of stock and, more so, price. Other components were chosen because the motherboard has copious USB ports, RAM will fit in budget and have room to upgrade. Processor is not top notch but fits in my budget as well, and the case is simple and clean.
-
I chose a a fast AM4 socket CPU to go with the RTX 3050.
-
I chose a build for people who want to stream, play games and have a budget friendly build under $1500. Plays 1080p like a boss around 100+ fps.

PC for work and media consumption (with LG C1 48" OLED monitor)

This was a fun little build that would be awesome for a first time builder wanting to put together their own gaming PC.
I considered an intel i5-12400 but the money I would have saved on the CPU, just would have gone straight to the motherboard, and it feels wrong to spend 200+ on an entry level mATX board. So a 5600X it is with a b550 board to allow overclocking through PBO2 just made the most sense.
I thought the Ram, case and motherboard both looked sleek in the white, but also allowed the fancy ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 3050 to stand out as the hero of the build.
Lastly I considered multiple drives for windows, games, and storage but with this being an entry level build, I decided to go with a single 1 TB m.2 for ease of installation as I thought that would be better suited for a first time PC builder.

My son and I like to play Minecraft and Wreckfest together, but in order to do so, he uses my new desktop while I use my 6 year old laptop. I already have many of the parts I would need to make him a decent build that can handle these games and any others he'd be interested in. (I have the case, m.2 drive, SSD, and CPU cooler already).
