I'm looking to put together a gaming PC for my girlfriend while there's still tax-free shopping available. She plays games like World of Warcraft and The Sims, but I want to ensure her setup is solid enough for future titles as well. I'm trying to figure out if this build is a good deal without being overkill. I also still need to find a case for the build. Here's my PCPartPicker list: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PnYRPJ)

Iโ€™m curious where youโ€™re getting those pricesโ€”$175 for a 14700K seems unbelievable! For your budget, Iโ€™d suggest this alternative build: [PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jY9RPJ) which features an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X. It offers great performance for gaming at 1080p to 1440p, and overall itโ€™s cheaper at around $1000 total.

BuildingGuru: Yeah, that 14700K deal is a steal! It pairs well with a solid motherboard and RAM bundle. I'm sure Microcenter is running some great deals.

Thatโ€™s an awesome find at $175 for the 14700K! Your build looks well-rounded for a variety of games, not just WoW and Sims. Just make sure to buy from a reliable store to get those prices!

GamerGalore99: Thanks! Iโ€™m definitely checking Microcenter for those deals.
