As the title states. Well, I'm a student that's graduating this fall, which will be in a few weeks. I have a couple of job opportunities as well (I've held a number of jobs already before), but my budget is to be as cost efficient as possible. I don't know much about PC building, but I have some friends. I thought I'd ask here for more opinions, yes, my friends are partial towards Intel. They looked at me funny when I mentioned I could've settled for a Ryzen 5 1600x instead of the i5 7600k ha-ha.
I've just ordered a few parts already, the RAM was already purchased to begin with which is why its at $0 ( a friend gave it to me). Some peripherals I already have too, a mouse and keyboard. Also a 1080p monitor, but I may get another one. Not sure. I'd like to spend not too much more than what I already have.
What I've already placed orders for: The CPU, Storage, and cooler. I'm about to order the remaining from NewEgg . . .
