Purpose
This build was for a family friend. He wanted a complete gaming setup with all necessary peripherals for less than $1000. Unfortunately, it was at a time when both RAM and GPUs were at an all-time high. This is the reason for the choice of only 8GB of ram. I felt that having the extra storage was more beneficial for his usage which consists of light gaming. He mostly plays lighter e-sports titles like Fortnite and Overwatch. Additionally RAM is always much easier to upgrade than a GPU, so I made the decisions to get the best GPU possible for the budget. I felt that anymore powerful of a GPU, then the CPU would become a bottleneck. In the end, I was able to get him a complete setup under his budget and still came with some red LEDs.
