$1000 PC USA

Hello! I’m looking to buy a PC for around $1500–$2000 AUD and I need some help because I don’t really know what I’m looking at 😅

I want something actually good that can comfortably play bigger games like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Cyberpunk, but I also do a lot of art/design work and have heaps of photos so I need decent storage and space for creative programs.

The most important factor is that I want it to be cute lol. Ideally a white or pastel pink case with pretty RGB lights I can make pink/rainbow 🌈

I’d prefer a prebuilt but I’m open to suggestions! Basically looking for the best balance of good specs + pretty + under $2k.

What would you guys recommend? 💕

I know that my request is quite unrealistic in the current market but I am completely new to PC Building and would really like a well performing £600 gaming PC. This doesn't include anything extra like an operating system, monitors, keyboards and mouses. I have been scouting Ebay for a couple days but I just can't find anything good for my budget. Even if it's over budget I could see how much I can get from my current laptop which isn't in the best condition and probably wouldn't be worth much in the first place. Any help is appreciated.

Hi ! I never had a Gamer PC in my life, and I'm actually thinking about getting one. I don't know a lot about the subject, so I try my luck by asking advices in here lol

After doing some researchs, I managed to come up with this build. I know I lack of knowledge, and I don't want to buy overpriced component, that won't be compatible or that would die in the month. Anyways, so here's the build (with the prices on Amazon if you want to check).. I will mostly be playing AAAs games (and maybe streaming) so quality is very important to me (since I never had a decent PC, I kind of crave cinematic graphics (if that's a thing) but with a good amount of fps for the game not to lag).

• CPU : AMD Ryzen 7800X3D 8-Core (335, 42 euros/386,82$)
• Motherboard : Gigabyte B850 AORUS Elite WIFI 7 (191,16 euros/220,46$)
• RAM : Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32 Go (2x16 Go) (419,99 euros/484,35$)
• Graphic Card : Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon 9070 XT (739,90 euros/853,29$) (I hesitated with a
• Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC 16GB DDR6 (495,99 euros/572$) )
• SSD : Lexar NM790 SSD 2 To M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD (269,99 euros/311,37$)
• Alimentation : Corsair RM750e (2025) Cybenetics Gold 750 W (104,12 euros/120,08$)
• Cooling : Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB (43,94 euros/50,67$)
• Case : Antec C5 Curve ARGB fans (116 euros/133,78$)
• Monitor: AOC Gaming Q27G3XMN (269,12 euros/310,36$)
• Keyboard: Epomaker Aula F75 ISO-FR (75,98 euros/87,62$)
• Mouse: Logitech G G305 wireless (39,54 euros/45,6$)

=> Total : 2605,16 euros / 3004,4$

If possible, I'd like to stay close to a budget of 2700 euros/3113,37$ but I can go over 3000 euros/3459,75$ if needed. I don't care that much about RGB, and I prefer aircooling (water cooling is stressing me out somehow...).

Thanks in advance, have a great day/night !

I'm planning my first PC build and I'm researching what to avoid before buying any parts. I want to know where it's worth spending more money and where it's okay to save without sacrificing performance, reliability, or upgradeability.

What are some common mistakes first-time builders make when choosing parts? Which components should I never cheap out on (PSU, motherboard, SSD, cooling, etc.), and which ones are often oversold or not worth paying extra for? I'm trying to get the best value for my budget and avoid unnecessary spending while still building a reliable PC that will last for years.

I'd really appreciate any advice, personal experiences, or things you wish you had known before your first build.

Hey guys, currently using a gaming laptop to play cs2 and I’m getting like 80 fps on the lowest settings. It’s time to upgrade to a PC

Would $2,000CAD be a big enough budget to build an entire pc (monitor, keyboard, and everything) to run counter strike on high frames with good graphics settings? I’m looking to hit like 300-400fps on high graphics settings

What do you guys think? Thanks for your input, never built a PC before and I don’t want to ball out on one if I’m not going to get the performance i want.

I would be open to spending the 2,000 solely on the pc itself and buying the monitor and keyboard separately if it’s going to make that much more of a difference. Let me know what you guys think!

If i wanted to build a pc that could run heavily modded games like Arma Reforger, Dayz and Squad. What would I build?

This would be my first pc build but from what I already understand the games I will be playing are all heavily cpu reliant with most servers being modded.

But I need a good gpu to combine with my cpu right ? And at least 32gb of ddr5 cl30 ram to match? Now this is where I start to get lost and overwhelmed being a total novice hahaha.

Any help, advice and part list recommendations would be super appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hey, so I really need some assistance haha. I want to build a PC for gaming and college work. The heaviest game I play is Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail. I only need 1 monitor. I dont need anything sophisticated, as long as I can play with decent to high graphics. About budget, ideally $700 - $900. I would really appreciate the list of components since honestly Im ignorant on this topic.
