I’m interested in assembling a computer suitable for moderate gaming, using an Intel Core i5-8400 processor. Could you offer some recommendations?

Why are you focused on the 8400 model? What is your price range? What screen resolution are you planning to use? Do you require a monitor, keyboard, or mouse as part of this purchase?

In conclusion:

Location desired?
Financial limitations? (specifically for a tower unit?)
Screen resolution and refresh rate specifications?
Are there any size restrictions?
