MOVING UP AND AWAY from recent budget machines, we wanted to create a more premium computer capable of solid QHD gaming, and also some intensive productivity on the side. We started this journey following an all-AMD route instead of the Intel/Nvidia path that we’ve done a lot of this year. When piecing together a custom PC, we need to start by mapping out the build and spreading our budget wisely. We knew we wanted to come in at around the $2,000 mark. and that we did.
Okay, we crept over ever so slightly over, but moving forward, we would make one change (component-wise) toare very happy with the rest of the system. Performance was fantastic, but we go in-depth on that on the page opposite.
