Could someone help me build a pc

[Kamboompoo]

I am new to building a PC and have a budget of 1500 dollars, and I’m in the U.S.

i want to play games mainly FPS and RTS and maybe video editing in the future.

I don’t have a current PC at the moment

if anyone can help thank you.

Country?

Budget?

Usecases aside from games and video editing?

Existing pc/parts?

 

Btw correct subforum is new builds and planning so just self report and ask a mod to move it for you

What games do you want to play?

 

What country do you live in?

 

What's your budget?

 

What's your current computer, and do you want to reuse any of its parts?

Believe so to keep it sub 1500, unless he’s doing specific stuff it won’t change too mcuh

People obsess over that tier list too much. It’s an important indicator, I agree, but with the ~200w of space it’ll be fine with surges. You also have to keep in mind budget. If it was d tier/e tier /f-tier then no, but above that system killers don’t really exist. I get the worry, but there’s a balancing act with budget

first response doesn't mean much when the latency is higher,

I guess with headroom it'll be okay

sometimes it's the small things that can make it worth,

 

as much as some components aren't important, I'm not really feeling right when you pair high-end parts with the cheapest SSD possible:

With the higher mhz shouldn’t it start to balance out?

yeah, but memory controller strain, each increase above 6000 sweetspot is kind of a gamble

I have room to go a few hundred dollars above 1500$ if needed. But thank you for all the help for everyone

Tbh,there won’t be many massive gains past where we are right now till ~2000$ mark
 

That is, unless, you live by a microcenter
