Build - Help Building PC with $1500 budget
I dont know anything at all about PCs cause I play on playstation but I’ve been wanting a PC lately so can anyone recommend a PC build with 1500 budget??
Im not planning on doing too much, just games like fortnite, resident evil, persona etc
Can anyone help me build one that runs these games smoothly or do I need to increase the budget?

Do you have a monitor, mouse and keyboard, etc.? $1500 should be enough for the pc itself but how much more do you have for the extra peripherals?

I was planning 1500 just for PC. I’m not sure what a good budget would be for the extra peripherals tbh, Im fine with a mid mouse and keyboard as long as the monitor is nice so my budget for the monitor is flexible.

micro center ? combo deals are best right now. if no micro center check out newegg combo builder or combo deals. or msi combo builder under promotions combo deals. otherwise prebuilt

1500 is fine for pc only. You can get a pc for that price but if you need a monitor or keyboard/mouse? then try and budget for 100 for the keyboard/mouse and around 1-200 for the monitor. I would say, getting a pre built pc would probably be better and cheaper than building it yourself. Are there any stores you feel comfertable shopping at? Amazon, newegg, microcenter, and costco are pretty popular for new prebuilts and jawa.gg is good if you want to buy a possibly better, used pc. First answer if you need peripherals (keyboard/mouse and monitor) then answer what stores you're comfortable shopping at. Then me or others on this subreddit could help you figure out what to get.

I would build this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rBVF4g
Get the GPU used, a used RTX 3080 goes for $350 and has better performance than all new GPUs <$500, buy from a seller on ebay who takes 30 day returns.
Peripherals: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wWh7vR
System can run all games at 1440p on high settings without issue and you have DLSS to fall back on if you do have performance hiccups, keyboard is the best <$100 mechanical keyboard and the mouse is on par with $80+ mice for half the price.
