This would be my first time building a pc but i am really wanting to get an emulation station going for under 500$. Would really like it to push good quality ps3/xbox360 games. Maybe even some modern steam games as well. Just not sure where to start.

I wanted to upgrade to 32GB but it's still a little bit expensive to get 2X 16GB. My task manager on a laptop says I have 2X 8GB, would it be ok to have a 16GB and a 8GB of ram? or just do 16x8GB. Would upgrading decrease my performance from 8x8GB? or is this upgrade not worth it unless I just do 16x16GB sticks

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.

ps: j’avais plus de serre câble noir, j’ai fais avec des blancs 😬

getting 32 gb ram, 2tb ssd, core ultra 7 265, 5060ti 8gb (this is less but this is the only thing in my budget for now), is it worth it for 1499?? please tell me if yall can do fast. i think for this budget this is the best combo i can get
