Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on putting together a gaming PC for around $1,200. I plan to have Micro Center assemble it for about $200 of that budget. I want to play games like Path of Exile 2, Guild Wars 2, Crusader Kings 3, and Europa Universalis 5. Additionally, I use it to create and run DnD sessions, including maps and other materials. If it can handle those games, I figured it should be fine for my DnD activities too. Here's the custom build I'm considering: https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder-amd.aspx?load=a82e737e-a656-42e0-bdd0-36d0078d6955. Is it a solid choice? Am I overspending or can I cut costs somewhere?

Just a tip: Micro Center often has some great coupons. If you plan ahead, you can save some cash. Also, I noticed you mentioned two different budgets—$1,200 in the title but $1,000 in your post. Just wanted to clarify that before you go shopping!
Your build looks solid and should handle your gaming needs quite well! It’s definitely capable enough for the titles you mentioned.

Thanks for catching that! I updated my post to clarify that the additional $200 is for assembly. Do you know where I can find those coupons?
