Hello community! I'm planning on building a new desktop this week and would really appreciate some advise. It's my first one and I'm not very knowledgeable.
My budget isn't too tight. I don't mind spending the extra buck if I really feel I'm getting value for it, so that's why I ended up with a build of $1200. If not really necessary I'd like to not exceed it. I'm aiming for a mid to high range setup.
I'll be using it for gaming, lots of browsing and running some apps for my job (social media marketing). The apps are mid range in regard to processing power needed. But the apps will be running in the background while I do other stuff in the meantime.
So here goes:
