1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.

For some gaming, want to run andriod emulation like.. LDplayer, or Nox and want to run multiple instance.

2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread

$1100

3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.

USA

4.

5. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc.

Intel and nVidia

6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.

HDD

7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.

No overclock

8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?

any

9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Note that it is usually not cost or time effective to choose your build more than a month before you actually plan to be using it.

ASAP

Will be using windows 10 that is have.

thank you guy

OK, I tried to put together a list, but I was at $1400. when you say "some gaming" I am uncertain on the video card. I also don't know anything about "andriod emulation like.. LDplayer, or Nox and want to run multiple instance. " as to their requirements.

So I will guess based on your budget, a 3700x CPU ($327) a ASUS TUF gaming x570 ($200) a be quiet pure rock slim ($34) gskil 3600 memory 2x8 gig ($75), a 500 gig m,.2 Corsair 600 ($130) a EVGA 750 G3 ($114)

Edit: video card 1660ti for $300

For a total of I think $1175.

The case is whatever you like, and your HD is for added storage, you need to NVME for the OS and speed. As close as I could get.

Then the only thing you should change, is the video card to a 2070 super (EVGA) and thats $200 more) for $1375, so you are right there. You have WAY more CPU power than a 6600, and the 2070 super should beat the 1080 easily (probably by a lot), and the only thing you might change, is a better cooler, I did not have time to research more, thats a good one that I list, but for $25 more, you might be able to do better.

Do not relay on PC Parts picker for the ram, it makes expensive mistakes.

Hopefully someone else will answer this one, as I don't know.

On my Asrock x570 motherboard, I had to enable SVM mode. AMD apparently has their own name for virtualization.
