Budget Gaming Machine

Budget (including currency): $1500

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Just looking for a casual gaming experience for games like Overwatch, Fortnite, Apex, COD, stuff like that. Nothing crazy I'm fine with things like 1080p or possibly 1440 and hoping to get around 120 fps. 

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):

Gonna wait until GPU prices go down so I can possibly get something more like a 3070 or 3070ti. Not looking for anything crazy aesthetics-wise, might consider overclocking and plan on future upgrades to things like RAM and GPU. I'm also open to suggestions for stuff like peripherals as I am not too knowledgeable for what I should be looking for there. Been doing a bit of research but I'm still looking for the best price for the performance I desire, easy to build in since this will be only the second one I've ever built, as well as maintaining a decently pleasant looking PC.

you dont need an 850w psu for that build, but for only 90 dollars you might as well get it. Also the rtx 40 series is right around the corner so id probably just wait for that.

Agreed, assuming that you can actually buy a 40 series. The PSU: if the 850W isn't that much more expensive than a 750W, better to spend a little now for extra capacity than having to replace down the line.
