Asked By CloudyGamer42 On

I'm looking to build a gaming PC for my son, and I have a budget of $1200. He enjoys games like Elden Ring and other high-performance titles, but I really have no idea where to start. Any recommendations for parts or complete builds?

Just a heads up – make sure that $1200 is for everything (case, monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc.). If that's just for the PC itself, you might be looking at extra costs for those peripherals.

Sure thing! I put together a build a few months ago that should work great. I'd suggest checking out the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X with an RTX 5060 Ti for solid performance in those high-end games. Here's a link to the full part list I designed on PCPartPicker: [PCPartPicker Link](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Kitarachi/saved/JRGfhM). You might want to consider upgrading to a 6900XT if you can swing it budget-wise!

Here's a detailed build list:
1. **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X - $208.99
2. **GPU**: GeForce RTX 5060 Ti - $479.99
3. **Memory**: 32GB DDR5 - $82.97
4. **Storage**: 2TB NVMe SSD - $107.99
5. **Motherboard**: ASRock B850M Pro RS - $149.99
6. **Power Supply**: 750W Gold Certified - $109.99
7. **Case**: Montech XR - $80.90

Total comes to about $1258.72, which is a bit over your budget, but it’s a solid setup for gaming! Also, check local stores like Microcenter for potential deals or discounts.

That's a solid build! Just be sure to keep an eye on GPU prices; they can really fluctuate! I got my last one for way less at a local store.
