First PC

[Phantom14]

Budget (including currency): 2000 AUD

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CoD, Iracing, Minecraft, Rfactor 2, 

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 already have all my peripherals, upgrading from msi gl65 leopard gtx 1650 intel core i5 9th gen 4 core 8gb of ram, i am hoping to get enough money over christmas to get a PC, i have no idea what res/refresh rate i want to play at

 

This is my first draft of a PC i would like to buy and i dont know if i can save any money on parts (note: I am only 14 and have no way of income for at least another 5-7 months as of making this post)

I am looking to make a decent first pc that can play a broad spectrum of games and if anyone can help me manage my budget i would be so thankful

*i have no idea what i am doing at all*

wait until you have enough money, then start planning your build. anything you do now will be irrelevant by then.

Hello. Welcome to the forum. I'm excited for you building your first PC, there's so much info on this site it's crazy. Loads of very helpful people too.

Regarding your build I think I could make some suggestions based on the PCs I have built and the games my kids play and I play which are basically the same as you.

 

This in my opinion would be a great rig for you
