Beginner Gaming PC

faithew

I want to purchase a gaming PC, a decent one. Nothing to expensive just something I can play games on. I'm trying to spend less than 1,000 or max 1,100

Hello @faithew,
There are a couple of factors that would go into this, do you plan on doing anything other than gaming on the PC? Maybe streaming in the future or anything like that? Would you like the PC to be easily upgradeable as well, some prebuilt manufacturers like Dell and HP do put proprietary parts in that can make upgrading a little difficult.  A good example is this PC, it is within your budget and would be decent for gaming, but you may have some issues with upgrades down the line.

Another recommendation, due to graphics cards / parts availability, you could look into this PC which has an i7-10700 which would be capable of gaming / streaming, it doesn't come with a video card, so when one does come available, I would say like a 3060Ti with your budget, just put that into a machine like this: https://www.microcenter.com/product/632410/powerspec-b732-desktop-computer 

For information on streaming we have a guide for that at
