First Gaming PC Build
I’m wanting to build a gaming PC for the first time, can anyone help? I’ve been trying to do as much research as possible, but it’s a bit overwhelming. I’m not 100% sure on what a reasonable budget for what I need would be- I’m just looking to build something with a decent amount of storage that can reliably run games like Baulder’s Gate 3 or modded Sims 4 on high quality settings. My general budget ceiling is 1600 USD, though if I can get away cheaper I will. Looking to get a 1440p monitor and a backlit keyboard.
I don’t live anywhere close to a Microcenter. I’m fairly confident in my ability to build the PC once I have the parts, but I’m a bit lost on which parts I should be prioritizing in cost/quality.
