Looking to build a 2026 gaming pc.

Looking to build a gaming pc for roughly $1600

• ⁠New build or upgrade? new build

• ⁠Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) I currently run a dual monitor build (which i want to keep as a dual build with the new pc) both monitors are the 27 Inch UltraGear™ FHD 180Hz Gaming Monitor with AMD FreeSync™

• ⁠PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) Gaming (games like borderlands, tabletop simulator, some tcg simulators)(might also like into 3d artwork such as Daz 3d)

• ⁠Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors) United States and yes I have a Microcenter about an hour from me and also have a best buy about 45 minutes from me.

• ⁠Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) only if you think I will be recommended that I upgrade, I don't mind playing in 1080p.

• ⁠Budget range? (Include tax considerations) $1500

• ⁠WiFi or wired connection? WiFi

• ⁠Size/noise constraints? No

• ⁠Color/lighting preferences? Black build preferably.

• ⁠Any other specific needs? I would like the build to have rgb parts, I am also on the fence about a full amd build (as i hear amd is cheaper and has just as quality parts as Nvidia) but also hear Nvidia is hard to beat..
