New to gaming pc's

Doc Mitchell · March 11, 2020

Hey everyone, I was wanting some help on building a gaming pc. I am new to the whole thing and have no idea where to start. I did have an acer 5 nitro but i pooped the bed and I'm looking for something more powerful. I really only play fallout, so my build doesn't have to be super crazy. I just want something that will last a long time and have the capability to handle a lot of mods. I appreciate and advice. Thanks

what's your country and budget? do you need monitor, keyboard, etc

I live in the U.S. My budget is up to $2,000. And I need a monitor and keyboard.

Neither of these include a monitor or keyboard/mouse as they are super personal as far as I'm concerned, but they leave you with a decent amount left ofver to get one. Also the case is a personal choice too, I just picked one I've heard people say was ok for the price. These should give you a baseline of what you can get for your budget, at least.
