I’m trying to put together a PC in the $600–$800 range that can handle:1080p gaming at stable FPS (titles like Apex, Valorant, Fortnite)Occasional streaming (Twitch/YouTube)Some light graphic design work (Photoshop, Illustrator)I’d prefer something with an upgrade path (so I can swap in a stronger GPU later). No strong preference between Intel or AMD, just looking for best value in this price range. Could use advice on CPU/GPU pairing, PSU size, and whether I should go SSD-only or SSD+HDD.Thanks in advance!

My budget for the GPU is around $400–$450.Current planned build:CPU: Ryzen 7 5700XCooler: Thermalright Peerless AssassinMotherboard: B550RAM: 32GB DDR4 3600MHzStorage: 1TB NVMePSU: 750W GoldCase: Fractal Pop AirWhat’s a good GPU alternative in that price range that won’t bottleneck this build? Should I wait for prices to drop, or is there a clear “best value” option right now?? Thanks!!

I'm tired of playing poker on my iPad. I want a nice desktop setup to reliably run up to ~5 Android emulators to play poker on apps like Pokerrrr 2 and PokerBros. It should be powerful enough to run other poker related programs like Hold'em Manager and stuff like YouTube on the side. Please recommend me everything I would need for a setup requiring minimal installation, including:Powerful desktop PCDual monitorsMouseKeyboard

I need some help putting together a quiet $900 build. I’ll be using it for office work during the day (lots of multitasking, spreadsheets, Zoom) and 1080p gaming in the evenings (single-player titles & some light online multiplayer).My priorities:Quiet operation (no jet engine fans if possible)Reliable performance for years, with the option to upgrade laterGood airflow but not a bulky caseCan anyone put together a solid parts list for me? I don’t need peripherals or Windows. SSD storage is fine as don’t need huge capacity.
