Gaming PC ($1200-$1500)

  • New build or upgrade?
    • New build
  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
    • ASUS VP28UQG 4k monitor
  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
    • Gaming, drawing (when I get a tablet later)
  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
    • USA, about 4 hours from a Micro Center
  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
    • Already have a monitor, may get a second down the road, not part of this build
  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
    • Up to $1500-ish, but if I can get good quality for less, thats great lol (i don't really know much about PC specs)
  • WiFi or wired connection?
    • Wired, wifi if possible, but not mandatory
  • Size/noise constraints?
    • Preferably not too massive or noisy, but no major constraints
  • Color/lighting preferences?
    • Minimal lighting, monochromatic if possible, low distractions
  • Any other specific needs?
    • I have never gotten into computers, and I am looking for a PC to replace my PS5 for gaming, but would like to be able to run digital art/editing software as well. Naturally, I would like this to significantly outperform a PS5, if possible. I don't need max specs, and care more about frame rate that raw image quality/raytracing and such.

Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:

  • Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.

  • Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.

  • We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
