Need help building my first PC
Posted by Ok_Syrup3157@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 9 comments
I want to build my first PC but I have no prior experience, I know it can be pricy but I’d like the budget to be around $2000 or less, I already have a mouse but I would need a keyboard and monitor. I would be running games like arc raiders, rainbow six siege, Elden ring, and any other big single player games. I would like to have the graphics pretty high. I know prices have gone up so if my 2000 budget isn’t going to cut it let me know so I can adjust

A little over budget. not including tax either. You will need to go to microcenter for the bundle

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/pmfNPf i asked the exact same question on here and 2 people gave me this build. 9070xt is good for 1440p and low-medium 4k. if you plan on 1080p gaming get a 9060xt instead. (you are in copper)
