    Are you building your own? $900 isn't a budget build, that's pretty mid-high solid tier for most applications.
    The only true authority stems from knowledge, not from position.

    You can contact me via matrix protocol: @grats:grats.win or you can email me at the same domain, any user/email address.

    Yeah $900 will get you a pretty solid build. I spent about $750 and I can run any game at max settings. I went with a fairly high-end graphics card and a low-end CPU because I originally just wanted it for gaming.
    I'd check out https://pcpartpicker.com/

    I like http://www.logicalincrements.com/ much more than pcpartspicker
    It gives a much better idea of tiers/price-points.

    What kind of build do you want? Form factor wise? Application wise?
    Do you care at all about power draw?

    The good thing about pc part picker is that the most comonly picked items are almost always a decent price/performance ratio.
