Build me a PC

[Scar40167]

I am looking for some decent components for a gaming PC with a budget of $1,000-$1,500. It would be awesome if someone could help, I need literally everything from a CPU to a keyboard. I'd appreciate any response I get. This will be my very first build of my own so it's a bit special to me.

When are you building? New parts from Nvidia, amd, and Intel are coming out later this year and if possible, you should wait.

Most likely it won't be till early-mid next year, I am leaving for Military school Monday and won't be back till around Christmas so I can't till I get back and get a job lmao

Then don’t bother with a full parts list now. By then all new components will be out. I recommend making a new post closer to when you are planning on building.
But a rough estimate of what you would get is the replacement for the 3600 with the replacement for the 2060 super or 5700xt and 16gb ram.

In that case I wouldn't worry about it until then. As zeusthemoose said, new parts are coming out later this year, so I'd wait until they're out and see how they perform, before deciding. A response to new parts is usually that the current gen drop in price, but will still be viable for a PC anyway.

You will have to answer some questions to yourself. 

 

Which resolution should your monitor have?

Which games will you play? 

If you dont go for high end games and or 4K resolution, you dont need a high end graphics card. 

 

AMD or Intel? 

As I heard, AMD can be better at the moment. 

When using Intel cpu:

Do you want to overclock? 

A more expensive Z mainboard can support higher RAM speed and overclock your cpu but you can safe money if you dont overclock.

Something along the lines of this. Wait for new hardware if you can so replace that 3600 and 2070 super with the equivalent new models.
