Building a PC

[spodah]

Hey guys,

I'm going to be building my first gaming pc. I'm so excited because it has been a goal of mine for a while and I finally have the money.

My budget is ~$1500 USD could anyone possibly make a few builds I could take a look at around that price range?

I put this one together last night... not sure if it will actually work

It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If you just plan on gaming and not planning on video editing or your work requiring it theres no need for a 12 core processor and such a weak graphics card. Also if you dont mind waiting a few months Id recommend also going with the new gpus and cpus but you can always use last gen components if you dont want to wait which isnt something I would recommend.

5600x like I said for the reasons above its currently out of stock but when in stock it will cost 300$
I chose 16GB of RAM since most games still dont use more than that much RAM

The 1TB ssd for your operating system and some of your favorite games and the HDD is for random files and less played games

750W PSU so you can upgrade your system in the future and because you can use it in your next few builds

The 3080 can easily be downgraded to a 3070 if you would want to do that

I'd spend $600 on a GPU and $300 on the processor instead of the other way around.
