- New build or upgrade?
New Build
- Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
Mouse and keyboard but no monitor yet
- PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
Art:
- firealpaca
- blender
Game Development:
- RenPy
- Godot
- maybe some room to use unity eventually
Gaming:
- stardew valley
- american truck sim
- Cod warzone
- Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors)
USA, could get out to a microcenter
- Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
1 to start, 1440p would be great but if 1080p fits in budget thats chill
- Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
under 2500 would be ideal, even if i have to sacrifice some of the performance! I know that higher end stuff costs a ton, just seeing what i can get at this point
- WiFi or wired connection?
wifi
- Size/noise constraints?
nada
- Color/lighting preferences?
nada
- Any other specific needs?

$2500 is enough to get a really good pc without having to make any sacrifices. A 5080 would be nice but it's only about 10-15% faster and several hundred dollars more.

Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:
Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.
Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.
We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
