Costume P.C. build

[Linus army]

I am a 14 year old wanting to build a costume gaming P.C. I am working on a budget and don't want to spend more that 1500 dollars. What are some parts that you would recommend for my needs? of course just because I'm on a budget doesn't mean that I want low end I am targeting mid to mid-high range.

What are you going to use this computer for?

Gaming? Video editing? Photo editing? Using it as an expensive paper weight? Streaming? Browsing? Something else?

For 1500 USD you can already have a decent setup though... (depending on the purpose of the PC)

I just chose a $1500ish build from PC part picker, I didn't make it myself.

If you're gaming you definitely  want to go for an intel/Nvidia build. It will give you the best performance when gaming and the highest FPS.

damn they have no idea, haha. No seriously i think it isnt as bad, just would switch out the board for z370 Prime-A or something. And maybe 8700 vs 8600k

The build they made is around $1430 so Op would have room to get a better board anyways.

Keyboard and mouse can be bought fairly cheaply. However, for a gaming worthy monitor you’re looking at 250 to 300 USD at least.
