Build Fix is my monthly series with a simple goal -- helping viewers choose the right PC parts to build with when they are building a new gaming computer. Each episode covers multiple builds submitted by viewers, combing through parts lists to recommend the best CPU and GPU combos, the best SSDs for a gaming PC, the best memory for a gaming PC, the best gaming PC cases, the best gaming PC motherboards, and generally speaking the best bang-for-your-buck PC hardware so you can build a cost effective rig with maximum performance per dollar.
