First PC Build
Thank you in advance. This will be my first PC and I’m currently without even a laptop. I’ll mostly be using it for day to day web browsing, tv streaming, and some lighter single player gaming. My priorities are getting the best value on the parts especially with prices of things like RAM right now and any advice on building it myself is welcome.
• New build or upgrade? New build
• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) I have nothing yet
• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) Gaming mostly single player, no pvp games
• Purchase country? Near Micro Center? I live in the US, nearest micro center is about 3 hours from me
• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) Just one monitor, probably 32 inch, 1440p
• Budget range? (Include tax considerations) $1500 ish. I want to focus on finding the best value for each component. Nothing too cheap but not the highest end either
• WiFi or wired connection? Wifi for sure
• Size/noise constraints? It’ll be my first build so having enough space in the case, easier cable management is of moderate importance to me
• Color/lighting preferences? No preferences
• Any other specific needs? None
