So I had an initial budget of $800-$850 (with monitor and keyboard)

The build I ended up with: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (Can anyone recommend a better looking sleek case with plenty room on a budget?)

Can I change anything in this build to make it cheaper but still play games like "Dark and Light" on high graphics?

Also, does anyone have a different build that would be better for $800?

Thank you so much in advance!!!

Phanteks - ECLIPSE P400 ATX Mid Tower Case
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I have this case its got lots of space and it tucks the PSU away nicely at the bottom so its really good for cable management. it comes with an led strip that you can change the color on too so that's an added bonus for the price.

That would have plenty of space for his specs.

Z06's case and Sean's case are both ATX Mid Tower cases so they should both fit the listed mobo. It's a bit thinner, but the video card listed is a smaller one so you're good. The dimensions are listed on PC part picker if you want a larger video card though.

Except you didn't include a monitor.

OP - What exactly will you use the system for, what games and programs/applications will you be using?
Will you overclock?

What exactly will you use the system for, what games and programs/applications will you be using? I was gonna use it for gaming for games such as: "Dark and Light", "Overwatch", "Borderlands 2", "CS:GO", & new good looking ones.
Will you overclock? Most likely not since I don't really know how & if i should.

So would I be able to use GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1060 DirectX 12 6GB, instead of the Zotac one Z06 gave? And also should I?
