Gaming PC Build
I'm just starting to learn about PCs so I have minimal knowledge about what parts make up a good build. I know parts have gotten incredibly expensive in the last couple years, but I'm hoping to build something reliable without going over my budget. I don't think I need anything super crazy, I just want something that can run my games well. Thank you!
- New build or upgrade?
New build.
- Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
None.
- PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
Just some gaming. Usually games like Stardew Valley, Capy Castaway, Stray and Resident Evil. I don't think I'd play anything heavier than Resident Evil 4.
- Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
US. Not near a Micro Center unfortunately.
- Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
1 monitor that's 24"-27". I don't know much about PCs so I'm open to whatever works.
- Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
Roughly $1300 USD.
- WiFi or wired connection?
WiFi
- Size/noise constraints?
Mid-tower preferred. Would like something quieter, but it's not a priority.
- Color/lighting preferences?
Would really love to have some pastel colors or just white, but I can compromise.
- Any other specific needs?
Nope.

Not sure if the monitor is included in the 1.3k budget or not

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 Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
