B450 Tomahawk Max MSI $115

A reliable platform for your build, the Tomahawk Max also comes in black to complement any style.

Ryzen 5 3600X AMD $210

This CPU is one of the greats, and uses the Zen 2 architectu­re to dominate in gaming and productivi­ty.

GeForce RTX 2060 KO GAMING EVGA $300

The RTX 2060 is a taste of the good life, where frame rates are high and real-time ray tracing is possible.

Wraith Spire AMD Free with the CPU

We love a freebie, especially one as capable as the cooler included with the 3600X. This’ll keep your machine running smoothly.

Ballistix 16GB DDR4 (2x8GB) Crucial $80

With plenty of capacity at 16GB, this unembellis­hed memory has everything you need for gaming and more.

CX650M Corsair $108

The heart of your gaming PC is your PSU, and this 650W Corsair promises to keep your rig ticking nicely.

S70 1TB Addlink $150

Building on a budget doesn’t mean sacrificin­g speed—the Addlink S70 proves you can indeed have both.

WD Blue 1TB 7200rpm Western Digital $43

Just like in the budget build, this HDD isn’t strictly necessary, but for a pretty low price it’s nice to have plenty of extra space.

Eclipse P400S TG Phanteks $90

An ATX case is all you need for this build. We like this one because it’s simple, functional, and really nice to look at.

AOC G2590FX AOC $236

Everything a PC gamer could want: 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and it’s AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync compatible.

Alloy FPS HyperX $97

As the name suggests, this keyboard is built like an absolute tank, with a steel frame and Cherry MX switches.

Model OGlorious $75

Lightweigh­t and responsive, the Model Ohas made a name for itself among streamers and pros thanks to its clever design.
