[Build Help] I have $100 dollars more to spend on the Modest Gaming Build at PC Part Picker. What would be the best part(s) to upgrade?
I am a first timer and I basically know nothing about building PCs. I have about $850 to spend on a gaming PC that I want to be able to run most games 1080p at 60fps on High settings, no VR. The "Modest Gaming Build" at PC Part Picker is appealing because I know so little about building PCs that it would be a good start for me, but I have a little extra money that I would throw in if I knew which parts would be worthwhile improving or adding. I wanted to ask this community if there were improvements that could be made to it, or maybe sales that would give me more bang for my buck. I am in the US. I appreciate any help I can get!
