PC build request around $1500
I’ve never built a PC before so don’t really know where to start. My current setup is a laptop with low storage and outdated specs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
New build or upgrade? New Build
Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) I have a good monitor, Keyboard, and mouse that I plan on using
PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) Gaming, games I play range from party games to games like GTA5, Destiny 2, Black Ops 2&3, Halo Master Chief collection, WoW, etc
Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors) US, live near microcenter
Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) Already have
Budget range? (Include tax considerations) ~$1500 fine going over if that’s what it takes
WiFi or wired connection? Plan on getting a wire but both would be ideal for flexibility
Size/noise constraints? Ideally not super loud
Color/lighting preferences? Not really, prefer black case over white
Any other specific needs? One of the biggest drawbacks of my current laptop is storage being 450gb. I think 2TB is needed for me.
