Here's a spec i put together, its a bit more than i was hoping to spend since its not my primary desktop and gaming pc, but it looks like it should handle most anything i throw at it. Its a shame, as this is almost at the specs of my primary desktop that i built for $2.2k a handful of years ago, for ~60% less. Yes, I know, the totals don't quite add up for some reason, but not worried about why they did that. Please, take a look and if something looks off or you see room for improvement, please say so.

Thanks guys, appreciate the info. I'll start digging up some hardware and post for thoughts. Feel free to keep the data coming. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Hi all, i started to build a cabinet 6 years ago, then my wife had twins and my spare time went poof. I'm getting back to my project now and lots has changed since then, specifically the addition of LaunchBox (was going to use Hyperspin). I was wondering if you could provide me some recommendations on the pc hardware aspect. I plan on adding multiple platforms, not just the arcade classics but nintendo, sega, laserdisc's, xbox and even potentially some steam games. It seems hardware requirements may jump when you start talking nintendo/sega and I can imagine another jump when talking xbox and steam. I'm not looking to build a $2k+ pc for this so trying to get a good idea what will work for these specs. If xbox and steam is going to make a huge jump in price, I may be willing to drop those. I'm also adding pics of the cabinet i started 6 years ago, should be plenty of space for the pc. The idea is to have a hidden drawer for the keyboard and mouse and the control panel lid will lift. I also hope to be able to use a working coin mech and/or buttons for credits. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! PC hardware: HD recommendations size & speed, MB, RAM, video card, sound, etc... I'd like to add a video marquee if possible, suggestions on this? This may be a bust based on my current cabinet build. I was also thinking of adding those round built in speakers up in the marquee area pointing down toward the player.
