Last time I built a PC was many years ago. Back when the AMD Black Edition 6 cores came out and had a GeForce 570ti. I feel guilty for wanting to build/buy but wife is encouraging me because we could always use the money for additional emergency funds. ANYWAYS... I have a nearby Microcenter and was looking at a few of their PCs. It's been many years since I've built a PC that I don't want to get the wrong parts or screw myself over by getting a good part now, but will then need to be upgraded later before I can upgrade other things.
I'm looking around the $1400 area. I wouldn't mind a 3060ti or higher. I do see some CPU Ryzen 5's but compared to the Intel 12700fs it doesn't compete well, b
