I focus on running ultra settings across nearly every title at 60 frames per second. Here are the configurations I’m evaluating between the available options.

For the system, I’m considering a PCPartPicker selection with a Part List format. I’ll look at the processor, RAM, storage, and peripherals to find the best fit.

The CPU choice should be a solid option—something reliable for gaming. The 3.7 GHz 6-core i5-9600K fits well and offers good performance.

RAM is crucial; I’ll opt for the 16 GB DDR4-3200 module to keep things smooth.

For storage, I’m comparing the 500 GB M.2 NVMe drive and the 2 TB Seagate Barracuda. The latter provides more space at a reasonable price.

I’ll also check the case—Cougar MX330-G offers good value for an ATX mid-tower setup.

Power supply matters too; the Corsair TXM Gold 650W is certified and efficient.

Finally, I’ll verify the monitor specs—ensure it meets my needs at 144 Hz with high refresh rates.

Choose the AMD version, yet certain components cost more while offering similar results on Intel hardware—likely causing the extra $200 price tag.

It was because I added the monitor to that order—it's both within $5 of each other

I didn't see the screen; the AMD model costs $400 less than that.

I purchased the case for 200 dollars.
