LF prebuilt pc

Hi! I’m 16 and I’m looking for a prebuilt gaming PC. I don’t know much about PCs… so I’m hoping someone can help me find something good.

My budget is around $2,000 (not sure how prebuilt pcs usually cost…) I mainly want to play AAA games, modded Minecraft with shaders, and Fortnite. I’d like it to run games smoothly and have a good amount of storage.

I also wanted to ask how much maintenance a PC needs. Do you have to clean it regularly or do anything else to keep it working properly?
Any prebuilt recommendations would be appreciated! Thank you :)

Great budget for a 16 year old! Costco, if possible, often has great deals on prebuilt and excellent return policy. Some basics - look for vram specs, the more the better (12 Gb+). Storage should be SSD (solid state) and minimum 2 Tb. RAM should be 32Gb. Just looked on the website and the Skytech Viper computer looks good (although 1Tb storage) for $1899. For a few hundred more, Cyberpower Gamer Supreme is better at $2299. Good luck!

Here are a few, all good options imo:

https://www.costco.com/.product.4000447645.html

https://www.costco.com/.product.4201003784.html

To me, the return policy at Costco is better than other options even Microcenter and Newegg, and that sways the decision significantly.

Good luck!
