Ugly but great gaming build?

HAMMERTIME

I'm making a pc, and I don't care about RGB or nice curves for this build. I would gladly sacrifice looks for function and price. I'll probably keep it under my desk. I would like it to be able to run AAA games. Any suggestions?

Greetings. What's your intended budget for the PC? Do you need peripherals (monitor, mouse etc.) included?

HAMMERTIME

My budget is nothing over 2k. And I do need a monitor and a mouse. I don't need a printer or a external hard drive. Same goes with those. I don't plan to make it any thing fancy, just want to play games. I also have no plan to stream.

Edit: I also have about 2 meters of desk space (About 6-7 feet I think).

So I'd look at the following: https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder-amd.aspx?load=9b91c156-c418-4c56-98b9-cf51cc7df358

Video card price is missing since out of stock, but it's around $500-600 dependent on exact model. Mouse is very much personal preference but I picked one in the $50 range to allocate that into the budget, but I'd highly suggest looking at mouse reviews online for games/game styles you'd like to play. With that in mind, this would leave you just shy or near $2k with tax.

I also picked a curved 27" monitor, if you'd prefer no curve I'd look at something like: https://www.microcenter.com/product/632433/aoc-27g2-27-full-hd-144hz-hdmi-dp-vga-freesync-g-sync-compatible-ips-led-gaming-monitor

I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any questions!
