Notes

A build rounding in at around $1.4k but the gaming rig itself at around 1k.

Comments on hardware:

-Intel Core i5-7500 3.4GHz Quad-Core

(Pretty good running current new games)

-Asus STRIX Z270F

(Overclockable, good performance, and stylish)

-Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound

(The CPU cooler comes with it already but for backup uses)

-G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32GB

(Decent ram and a bit overkill. You can downgrade to 16 GB if you are on a tight budget)

-1TB Drive

(Can be switched to an SSD but more expensive. But if you question why 1 TB, modern games take up more and more space and you have your own programs and as you go on more and more space is taken.)

-Deepcool Tesseract

(Comes with 2 LED fans, and a side panel partly transparent coming with two spots for fans while having two spots for fans on the top too. Also, it has one on the back.)

-500W Power Supply

(More than enough from EVGA, why not and if the system wanted more than 204W

(Supposed calculation by PC Part Picker)

-Asus DVD Writer

(Who doesn't want a DVD writer? But really, you need it to install drivers that is needed to be installed or you can go without it and go to the sites to download drivers and save yourself $18.69. Also you may need a usb drive with a windows 10 iso if you go without one.)

-Windows 10

(... Do you even need to question why you need windows 10? But on a lighter note, you can downgrade to windows 8 if you are on a tight budget.)

-Cooler Master Fan

(More fans the merrier, keeping the system cool.)

-Logitech Speakers

(So you need them if you want audio which I assume you want. Unless you have your own.)

-HP 25er

(Great color variation for the price and is pretty big for you needs.)

-M-200 Keyboard

(Yeah.. You can find cheaper ones but that is just there for ref.)

-T90

(Cheap gaming mouse with adjustable DPI settings on the play.)

-Mousepad

(Eh for the looks, you don't really need it if you have your own)

-GTX 1050ti

(Good for running modern games without being an overkill even tho you can downgrade to a 980 and it can still game at a lower frame-rate.)

-Corsair H60

(Liquid cooler provides good cooling so your CPU doesn't throttle on your new gaming rig.)

Side note:

I bought an Linksys USB Wifi stick for wifi but if you don't wanna do that maybe buy a $40 PCI Wireless WIFI Card.

Side note:

Motherboard light will be on even if system is off, unless you turn the power supply off.

Side note:

You may lose blood and temper while building this system if something goes wrong. (I did anyways)

Overall:

Good system to game on running OW at around 70-80 FPS at max settings while settings with a mix of max and some things little under max can give you around 100-120 FPS. Should last you for maybe a year or two or three. Not all that good for mining, just saying, a light gaming rig isn't good cause of only 1 GTX 1050 Ti.

Note: Sorry for the crappy images. I have a crappy camera. Maybe I should of included a good camera as part of the hardware list.. Oh well..
