My First PC?

[TROUBLEMAKER1st]

A Friend and I are both wanting to get a mid range PC but we are both new to anything PC. All I would like to know if this is a good build for the price, and for 120/144hz refresh rate (I plan to get a used version of the GPU)

Budget (including currency): $1500 or less

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Battle Royale and Sandbox Games mostly and some Indie Titles

Other details: This is the link to the list. https://newegg.io/11b67ad

Not bad, few things. First of all, get 16 gb of ram, no question about it. I'm not too fond of the case since it won't have great air flow, shouldn't be the end of the world though. And just so you know, the cpu has a cooler included that will handle it just fine, (wraith cooler), so no need for the cpu cooler.

Throw in a 3060 TI when prices are normal, for now use the decent iGPU on the 11500.

Are you planning on pairing that with a 2600? That would be a bad combo.

A 5600X would make more sense. Its only 100 bucks more and way better.

I know that. An 11600K or 11400 would be better than a 2600 too
