1. Budget & Location
I have budget of $2500 (a max of $3000 if the parts warrant it). United States.
This budget if for the computer parts / case, monitor, peripherals, and OS.
2. Aim
This system will be used solely for gaming (solo and multiplayer). I would like to be able to play a variety of games at their max settings for current generation and hopefully have enough power for future ones.
Maybe game recording in the future.
That being said. I want to pay for quality parts, not just because they cost more. (e.g. I would rather have a cheeper graphics card that is worth the price it costs then a more expensive one that gives me diminishing returns.)
3. Monitors
I will be using one monitor (maybe 4k if it's worth it and I will see the difference in games?).
4. Peripherals
Gaming mouse. Gaming keyboard. Headset possibly with microphone.
Speakers?
5. Why are you upgrading?
I'm upgrading from console gaming to PC gaming.
This is my first PC build and I have saved for quite a while to have enough to spend on, hopefully, a higher end gaming system. I've watched lots of YouTube videos on building a computer by oneself, but I can't say I understand enough to know what parts would be best for the money I have.
I've decided to ask for some help. Can somebody recommend a build for me?
Thanks.
