Need Help Choosing Parts - first PC build!

Scobi

Hi!

I'm a first-time PC builder. Casual gamer, looking for a build where I can play games like Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, etc. I don't need to play on the highest settings, just want it to run smoothly and reliably. My anticipated budget is $800-$1,000, but since I'm not a heavy gamer I'd love to spend less if that's possible. I'm planning on running two monitors for my setup. I would greatly appreciate any advice or input! Thanks :)

Hi! Your first build is always super fun! Looking at this for you here I recommend upgrading to at least 32GB of RAM. If you are looking to stick with an AMD bundle here is one that includes that: https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006710/amd-ryzen-7-7700x%2C-gigabyte-b650-gaming-x-ax-v2%2C-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit%2C-computer-build-bundle It also appears that you are missing a CPU cooler here. Are you looking for an AIO or air cooled? If you are submitting this as a custom build for our team in store you will also need to ensure that you select the operating system!
