I'm working on building a pc. I want to keep the price around $1,000. I want something that is 4k capable, but I won't be doing 4k right now because 4k monitors are still hella expensive.

Super hard to read, but looks like a 2600 build? Have they come down in price? 1600s have been so super cheap, I'd have a tough time not going 1600. But 2600 is understandable too.

Just tell them the specs you want and they'll give you options.
I miss the old Mile High Stadium.
I'd take Frey's build over that garbage.
The best 'deal' they have is this one

and it's a sad fraction of the power of Frey's rig & w/o a monitor for only $200 less. Basically throwing away money.
Edit: assuming we are looking into gaming rigs

when you finish, compare it to these two to see if you have done a good job (imo)
Powerspec is the Microcenter store brand and they are hard to beat from a performance per dollar standpoint.

Just noticed that the price of my monitor changed drastically, as did the video card so I may need to reconfigure again right before I buy, but this at least gives me a baseline.
