I know it's a bit over your budget, and that's because of the mechanical keyboard. You can go with Microsoft SIDEWINDER X4 if you want to save more.

/r/buildapcforme would be better for this type of request. If OP wants they can post a build ready post on /r/buildapc with Toad's part list for them to check over but there really isn't much to improve.


Yeah, Killer nailed this one OP. Go with his. And peripherals are cheap. If you're willing to give up a monitor, drop both of them and go for a single, larger monitor around $150 and then you'll have some extra cash for the keyboard and mouse.

whenever asking a question about a PC on PMC, don't listen to anyone who isn't in the PMC PC Group.

why just why people that aren't in the pmc pc group could make good builds or even great builds


Woody239 is recommending that OP only take advice from those who have been proven to know what they're talking about when deciding how to spend his $1200... I would strongly agree with him.

True, some of them do. I, myself will sometimes put together a decent build. However, the PMC PC Group is made up of many very PC-intelligent people, who are much more trustworthy than the rest of the site. I wouldn't recommend listening to anything that isn't approved by them.
(This is why I clearly state not to listen to my builds that aren't approved by the pmc pc group members)

If some that isn't in the group makes good builds we will happily accept them into the group.
WillyWonka125But really OP, you'd be better off digging through http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc, making a part list, and then posting that list on the aforementioned subreddit (or here, I guess) and open it up for constructive criticism. You'll be better off over there than over here.

Changed it up a bit. Bigger/better case, equal to, or better than the other cpu cooler.

Oh my goodness, I forgot those. I'm sorry. You can add a cheap wifi adapter, and also do you have a spare mouse keyboard? They will work fine till you can get a good keyboard (mechanical is probably the best way to go, and the cheaper steel series mouses are pretty good for their prices.)

If you need to, you could possibly go with a cheaper case to squeeze in a super cheap mouse and keyboard. It's all up to preference, but I've had my desktop for about 6 months now and the total of my mouse and keyboard is less than $30... I don't mind it one bit either. But if you're one of those people who need super fantastic peripherals the best thing to do (in my opinion) would be to drop one of the monitors until you can save up for another.
