1. Mostly used for streaming and Steam gaming, Space Engineers 2 (and 1), Rocket League, War Thunder, Rust, Ark...
2. Looking to keep the main components for this under $1,350 (lower the better though, right?)
3. Buying from US vendors
4. n/a
5. Not really a brand preference but AMD has done me well so currently leaning that direction
6. Only part getting reused is my NVIDIA Founders Edition GeForce RTX 3080 10GB GPU, also not worried about fans or peripherals/accessories
7. Overclocking will be something I will do in the future but probably not within the first year
8. 2560 x 1440 is my main monitor's resolution, secondary is only 1080p
9. I plan to get this built before the end of March preferably before the tariff pricing kills us all(?)
10. No software needed
