PC Build Guide – July 2016
Welcome to the July version of our PC build guides. As with before, we have implemented price limits ($500, $800, $1300, $1800) on ourselves and have had to make tough decisions with each build. Your personal budget will likely be flexible, but we hope this article will give you a baseline. You can of course spend more or spend less, but you run into a case of diminishing returns at either end. Please keep in mind that pricing information is immediate and may not necessarily reflect real prices by the time you have read this article. For questions and help, join our Discord!
The Starter ($500)
The Sweet Spot ($800)
Note: It is recommended that you attempt to purchase a GTX 1060 for $250 if you can find one in stock. GTX 970s are still great cards for the money, though.
The Enthusiast ($1300)
EDIT: It has been brought to our attention that the MSI Z170A motherboard is not compatible with the m.2 SSD listed – we are sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused. We’ll double check this in the future.
The Professional ($1800)
EDIT: It has been brought to our attention that the MSI Z170A motherboard is not compatible with the m.2 SSD listed – we are sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused. We’ll double check this in the future.
It is worth noting that by the time you look at these builds, the selected graphic cards may have sold out. Check out NowInStock to see where you can get one: 1060, 1070, 1080
