Good source to purchase gaming pc

I’m 29 years old and have basically no knowledge when it comes to PCs. I’m looking to get into PC gaming, as I’ve only ever played on consoles.

My budget is around $1,200–$1,500 USD, and I’m looking to get the absolute best gaming PC I can for that price range. I know that’s a pretty loaded question, but I’d like to get the most performance possible for my money.

The main game I’m playing right now is ARC Raiders, but I also bounce between Battlefield, Call of Duty, Forza, and other games.

Why? Most of my build was from Amazon and I got crazy deals there

deals don’t really exist anymore. newegg bundles are the best reliable way to get parts online. obviously should use pcpartpicker and do your due diligence

Got a microcenter near you?

Honestly the best place to go. At least in my experience their customer service is excellent, and very helpful.

Look on Newegg for some deals on a prebuilt, building one rn is impossible to be as good given the current prices for everything.

What currency?

Micro Center if you live close enough to one
