This build is meant to be reasonably under budget, while having sharp graphics (and looks). I also built it to end up minimalistic, no fancy RGB. I also added Noctua fans, to have more airflow and for it to also be quiet (I'd choose some other color, but I think it'll fit the palette anyway). Each component was chosen to have a black color palette, and it's the perfect stealth machine. I also chose the 3060 12gb because I thought that it's a good GPU for its price. Went Ryzen on the CPU because it's just fine too. If I had the money, I'd buy this machine.

The absolute overkill machine.

Took everything out and built my dream PC although I'll never be able to get a graphics card :( https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=281188e2-1b35-49da-8eb5-48b9da87ab3e

Half of the stuff i want to build with is sold out but ill chuck it in anyway :)
This is a very budget build I put together, I think it should be able to suit my needs of scrolling YouTube for the next Linus Tech Tips video to pop up. Also this build at this lower price point should run Minecraft with RTX on with no issues(theoretically).

A solid Mid-Range PC That can handle most tasks effectively and play most games at medium settings with high frame rates

The components I chose for my build are from my actual PC (except for the AIO cooler which is fractal design). This build was my very first time building a PC. Im fairly new to PC building and never had one growing up so I waited very patiently for months to get the right parts at the right price (Also getting hella lucky on newegg for a 3080). I am completely happy with my build because I put together my dream PC all by myself with the help of watching countless of hours of PC builder youtubers big and small! I have now built a mini PC (Thermatake Core VI case) for my girlfriend so we can stream and play together and can't wait to build more! https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=f031c57b-5a9e-49dc-8d60-2885cf122d80

Well honestly it would hard to pick the perfect considering current prices, but I would love to build another pc through Microcenter. Built several for my family and would love to upgrade.

I personally picked the parts to this build that fit under $1500 (msrp at least) that would perform a decent bit better than my current machine in VR games. Id like to be able to run boneworks at max settings with no hiccup, and I think this machine will be pretty capable at it. I also wanted this PC to be compact as well, so I went with a micro ATX form factor case and mobo, so it doesn't take up so much space under my desk.
I'm a YouTuber and Gamer so I chose the 10900k Gen I9 CPU. I'm a big can of Asus and Corsair hardware so that's why I chose the parts I did. 2TB Samsung 980 NVME boot drive and 6tb HDD for video and game library storage.
Went with more ram and m.2 ssd instead, as well as a different case cause I liked it more. Also motherboard with wifi already in it to avoid needing a wifi card. Different CPU since it was a lower price.

I went for a small form factor portable mid to high range build for traveling. I chose to cram some liquid cooling in there just for fun. I think this build would be a blast to try and put together!

I wanted a machine that can help me to some sick multithreaded computations of my custom evolutionary stock strategy software. 64 cores should do wonders towards powering through these simulations! https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=cca6b905-f4ad-4467-8a32-028317e8ce74
I listened to Fleetwood Mac and went my own way. I went with a complete AMD build as a solid all-around machine in my opinion. I believe that it'd be great for editing video and photos, along with being great for software development. The best part: gaming shouldn't be too big an issue for this puppy, as long as you don't max out Flight Simulator though...

Here's a quick build - if someone were able to get all these parts together (graphics card being the hardest right now), they would be ready to tackle my daily work loads of multi-threaded compiling, tweaking, re-compiling source code - running web servers, and - of course - gaming.

No budget limit. No problem. I decided to pick the top tier parts for their performance combined with ease of use so you can get up and running without any hassle. This will cover all the range from gaming, content creation and productivity.
For aesthetics and cooling, I picked Corsair H150i paired with 6 LL120 case fans. This can be mounted in any preferred configuration. Also Corsair has the best and most user friendly ecosystem I've ever used.
Enjoy.

Definitely going for the semi-white theme

This is my take on a nice stater pc just going slightly over $500 but pretty good value for the price.

5900x for best performance without getting to 5950x price territory. Especially when it benchmarked quite better than the 5950x in Total War: Warhammer 1 & 2, it'll definitely be great for Total War Warhammer 3 that is coming this year. My current PC is also bottlenecked by my 3700x in Warzone so this would help me reach over 144fps+ @ 1080p for sure. Needless to say the 3090 might be over kill but rather have more than I need than not enough for the future. Considering that my 1070FE lasted me 5+ years, this one should last way longer as a top of the line card.
Chose the Lianli fans and AIO cause they have cool RGBs :D

I went all out, I really did not have any regard for anything. The parts I chose are very over the top, at least for my use. https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=3fdb42f5-f15a-4b7b-8a73-7690a68323f0
I went for a Color theme Build (white ) or the all white build and sick looking PC. the build is inspired by appearance, and turning heads look. the Machine stand to impress and also scream at its bystanders that it not Just the looks put can bring performance to the table with an AMD CPU and a 3090 for better graphics and editing processes. This is a build you would want for yourself.

My dream build is a 1080p Esports airflow machine. Pairing a 5600x with the RTX 3060 would give me all the frames I need to enjoy the Alienware AW2521HF for games such as Apex Legends and CSGO. The Cooler Master case paired with the legendary Noctua NH-D15 would be perfect for airflow and keeping the system running smooth. I do not really want/need 4k gaming or any more RGB so this would just be perfect for me personally.

I made an epic gaming machine that was, sort of, within reason

Went for compact, yet powerful. Something that can sit on the desk and be a show piece, plus a gaming/workstation powerhouse. Only questionable decision is the 120mm AIO for the 5950X, but could easily be switched out for something like an NH-U12S chromax.black.

Why did I choose these parts? because they're the best... and the brightest lol. If the point is to build a pc that rips and looks good doing it then this is the machine to do it. Crushing gaming performance, incredible productivity potential, RGB flair, and the peripherals to tie it all together. When price is no object why not have it all. https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=38b23185-2c66-4992-ac0b-42fe089d377f
I have a feeling that this would work pretty well for a low to mid tier computer that's a step above the base build: https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=bb1eca5d-db48-4ee9-8107-1bc2ecc1e6e7
