MID-RANGE BUILD
Our recommended build for playing the latest games
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 3060 Ti Founders Ed. Nvidia $399
The RTX 3060 Ti is a little overkill, but we’re willing to make sacrifices elsewhere to make it work.
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 $44
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.
