Conclusion
This content was originally featured on Amdmb.com and has been converted to PC Perspective’s website. Some color changes and flaws may appear.
You may have noticed that I left a few of the minor components out of the system recommendation. The case and an Ethernet card/modem come to mind. This is mainly because the difference between different kinds of these components is minimal and should affect the price or performance of your system very much. So don’t email me about those, okay? 🙂
Total Price: $1902
