Building My First PC

[Aqueous_50]

Budget (including currency): $650 (flexible) 

Country: United States 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Playing games such as modern warfare, rocket league, and tarkov. Also for running adobe programs for my graphic art and some animation. 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I have no existing parts, never owned a pc and will most likely have one monitor for now. Planning on buying very soon and would like to be able to play games on a little above 60fps at least 

 

thank you all

To bring costs down further, we can switch the 1650 super out for a 570, and get a different motherboard if you'd like.

Howdy and welcome

 

not a lot of money, Most of the video games don’t have a lot of video or cpu requirements except tarvek.  That one iirc is particular.  My memory is it REAAALY wants single thread MHz.  It might even hate AMD and only like intel.  By contrast adobe stuff will do well on multi cores.  Adobe also prefers Nvidia, so the temptation is to go intel/Nvidia and $650 is not enough to build a gaming rig from that.
