I guess this technically counts as a computer build
I built myself a Retropie using a Raspberry Pi 3 and a $25 NES case for it. All together (not including the controller) I spent about $80. Much better value than the NES or SNES mini. They also make SNES cases for the PI 3 too. There are multiple themes you can download and you can even download video previews and box art for all your games.
You set the upscale resolution. Yes you can run it at 1080p
Image quality and sound are pretty much identical to the original systems but better since it's digital (over hdmi) instead of using coax or video out.

A lot of the software clones aren't 100% accurate with the colors and audio. For $80 though, I'm interested in trying this. Would be a fun project at the very least.

Just dont buy this one look for one that actually has the nes color scheme and looks. Same for SNES version looks for one that actually has the snes color scheme for your region.
Also since this is retropie (libretro with emulation station as the front end) you can also use shaders to add the crt effect and shizz to make it look spiffy.

As always top notch parts. But that motherboard is ugly as hell IMO.
Wait until you see my ryzen board...… Waiting on to buy my ram... Fore warning though... can't do a new case yet, so i'm still gonna use my 750D for now.
Parts though are...
Case 750D
CPU Ryzen 2700x (just going to use the wrath prism for now)
Motherboard Gigabyte Aorus X470 Gaming 7 Wifi
Ram 16GB Gigabyte Aorus DDR4 with 2 dummy sticks for full rgb goodness
Evga 1000 watt fully modular psu
Still gonna use my EVGA 1070 SC for now.
Same Hard drives for now as well.
BTW intel boards are ugly compared to the amd counterparts.

Haha same ram nice!!! I don't have a new case yet... So until then, I'm not going to cable manage things any more than they already are. It's already pretty clean, besides the dust bunnies left over from when I gutted out the old motherboard. lol.

Nice setup. Looks like you could host an OCD session there.

Got my desk in and put the new art up. Then cleaned everything and hid the cables. Now I have the PC permanently tied in to the home theater.
Put the new desk up but the art hadn't arrived yet. Neither did the longer cables:
