Budget Gamer

Build Description
The core components were obvious choices. The i5 beats the previous-gen Core i9 part in gaming for cheap, so great value there. And the RX 6600 is the absolute best value midrange GPU of this generation, maybe ever, if you get it at the right price: I got this MSI model for $260, which is honestly amazing for this level of performance.
Favorite Feature
Budget build that I specced out to get the absolute most bang for the buck.
