The build I am living with

10 parts · $2099.75 estimated · Created Jun 25, 2026

I bought most of these parts around 2023 or so (except the Samsung storage device with 4 tb of space on it. I got that in late 2025 for 200 some dollars) and am mostly happy with them.. I would rather get a new monitor than anything else.

Why these are estimates?

These numbers are model-predicted averages, not measured benchmarks of your specific system. Treat them as ballpark guidance, not a promise. Real framerate depends on:

Your full system (RAM speed, storage, drivers, OS, background load)
In-game scene complexity, multiplayer player count, mods
Driver updates and game patches after this estimate was made
Display, thermals, and how your case manages airflow

If you want a measured number for your specific build, the only reliable answer is to benchmark it yourself once you own the parts.

Balance
