We will begin with a more budget friendly PC.
Starting with our ultimate budget build, I wanted to strike a balance between not spending too much or too little money. At $1000, you are spending just the right amount on an Intel Core i5 13600K build that can handle anything you throw at it, while still being affordable.
Starting with the motherboard, I paired the 13600K with the ultimate budget champion board – The MSI Pro B660M-A Wifi DDR4. It is one of the best cheap boards for LGA 1700 and will not let you down if you don’t have a budget to spare for a more expensive motherboard.
