First PC with $2000-$2500 budget
New build or upgrade? New Build
Existing parts/monitors to reuse: None this is my first ever PC
PC purpose: Gaming, with the biggest games being BG3 and Sims 4 (HEAVILY modded), Genshin Impact, and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Origins. Plus the ability for some audio and photo editing
Purchase country? Near Micro Center: USA, no
Monitors needed: 2 but they have a separate budget ($300-$600)
Budget range: Around $2000–$2500 USD for the PC only.
WiFi or wired: WiFi
Size / noise constraints: None, prefer less noise
Color / lighting preferences: Green/Purple (I’m going for Green Dark academia meets Purple cosy witchy vibes)
Any other specific needs?
Want a long-lasting build (around 4-5 years) I am very new to PC stuff (I have been using a gaming laptop for the past 5 years) and will take any and all suggestions
