Pics? What it’s for? How much was it?

For sure, I can post a pic when I get home. I am using it mainly for light/moderate gaming (World of Warcraft currently) and photo editing. But the specs are:

AMD Ryzen 5 3600
16GB RAM
EVGA GeForce GTX 980ti
NZXT case
Dell 27inch Gaming monitor

Nothing grand. No LEDs. Just does what I need at the moment. Spent about $950 total mixed of open box/refurbished/new items. Bought majority through MicroCenter and amazon.

I wish I still lived next to Microcenter

My friend is looking to build a pc for gaming, specifically the new age of empires. I think he’s trying to spend around 1500 max. Where should he start ? Neither of us have any idea
Im gonna read through here to get an idea

Also would it actually be worth waiting for BF/cyber Monday?

Pick parts. Build your PC. Compare and share.

I lived near one when I was in VA and didn't realize how great of a store it was until I began thinking of building a PC. Fortunate to live near another one here in SoCal. The open box/refurbished deals help so much.

Does physical Microcenter stores still sell a huge supply of "PC building parts?"

'cuz lord knows Frys Electronics stores NO LONGER DOES NOT........all them empty *** shelves for no reason at all SMH

Last time I went a couple of years ago they had a wall of just case fans. It went on from there. No idea if it is still like that now.

You already had a 1080ti or is there a good deal on it out there? Best I could find is from zotac store refurbed.

Good job, you overpaid a bit though.

Ahh, thanks for the feedback. That's okay, though. It's a learning experience and if I continue to build, I'll be more comfortable in looking for deals on parts.

I want to build a mini ITX with the 3900X. Looking for a low profile but powerful cooler so the build doesn’t melt.
