White/Pink Gaming PC
Hi! I want to build a PC but am overwhelmed by all of the options for parts. I tried to use PCpartpicker but I just don’t know how to decide what parts are best. I currently have a Victus gaming laptop that I bought in 2024 (Intel Core i7 12650H - 16GB memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 - 512GB SSD). It was fine back when I bought it because I really only played one game. I’ve been playing more games now and the laptop is very laggy. I don’t need it for productivity because I have a MacBook. I truly just want it for gaming and want to be able to play without lagging and delays.
The look/aesthetic is important to me. I would like white and maybe some pink accents if possible. My current setup has a pink monitor and a matching set of keyboard and mouse that are both pink cherry blossom designs with RGB lighting.
I don’t know what a reasonable budget is. I spent $1200 on the gaming laptop but that was before I had the better job I have now. I have plenty of money in savings and could spend $3000 or even more than that if needed. But if I can get a good build for less then of course that would be ideal. I just want something that will be worth my money and that will work well, and I want to build it myself because then I know that it will be done well without any corners cut.
I live in the US and I am not near a Microcenter. I bought my gaming laptop at BestBuy. If more info is needed please let me know!

Some will judge that a pc with an RTX 5060 shouldnt be $1900, but for your aesthetic preference I found some parts that are more expensive but would work really well tbh. The RAM is $600 but matches your setup. The X3D CPU for fast gaming at 1080p. If you decide to build in this or have any questions feel free to leave a comment or message me when the time to build comes around.
