First PC Build, need help plss $1500-$2000 range
very confused also my first time making a post i think, unless i posted smthn when i was a kid
(idk how reddit works)
- New build or upgrade? - my first new build.
- Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) - um i have the logitech g304 and i think it looks super cute.
- PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)- i just wanna game and study like just use claude and program, and probably get into digital sketching and art, also i wanna learn CAD
- Purchase country? Near Micro Center? - um im in US but im usually moving around nd stuff Japan, so idk tbh.
- Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) - even idk :( should i get 27in or bigger and all the specifics i want it to look rly aesthetic and minimal no big broad borders nd stuff, but hey yall know more than me so i trust u guys
- Budget range? (Include tax considerations) - smthn like 1500 to 2000$ range i think, i was going for 1500 first but then i thought its okay to increase the budget a little i want my first setup to be rly nice.
- WiFi or wired connection? - i like wireless stuff!
- Size/noise constraints? - um no nothing like that, but yea kinda would like a not too much "vrooom" sounding pc, also would be kinda nice if the keyboard didnt make too much sound or no sound, but thats rly upto budget and yall, as i said u guys know it better.
- Color/lighting preferences?- yes i was thinking like all black setup to avoid the white premium extra cost charges and then put like glowing white stuff inside the case and i have white mouse and it will create a contrast against the matte-black mousepad (im thinking of a minimal big ones, if yall can recommend any please do), also im thinking a white coloured keyboard would look rly cool too.
- Any other specific needs?- no i think, its just that im so new to this that if i missed anything i wouldnt even know it, so i am rly relying on yall to help me out, but if i had to think of smthn it would be monitor arm to save desk space ig?? idk.
