Important Notes

  • • Prices reflect current market conditions (January 2026) – RAM and SSD prices have increased significantly
  • • Memory prices are volatile and may change week-to-week due to ongoing supply constraints
  • • All builds assume you already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse
  • • Windows OS license not included in pricing (add ~$100-140)
  • • Consider adding a CPU cooler for better temperatures (stock coolers included with most CPUs are adequate)
  • • Always verify component compatibility before purchasing
