Building & Benchmarking an $800 BALANCED Gaming PC

Here's another gaming PC build with a few benchmarks to demonstrate the behavior of balanced resources. In this case, I chose the CPU I thought had the most to offer in every regard at its price point. I paired it with a graphics card that can certainly hold its weight in 1080p and 1440p. I stuck with the new market. You could certainly do better if you dabble in the used market 🤓 By the way, the part list below has a few minor changes (since prices always change). Enjoy!
