My price range is really anything that doesn't go over $1,200 (USD) The cheaper the better, of course, but I still want something that'll run well.

I'd prefer prebuilt but I'd also be ok with building one, I'd even be fine with one of those higher-end laptops.


Tell me if you have any more questions because I'm not really sure which details are important and which aren't lol

    Firstly, kinda need to know your rough location (aka country) because different companies are located in differnet places. Like I used Novatech but they're a UK-exclusive firm, and looking up Novatech USA brings up Nova-Tech, a firm which produces lab equipment.

    I know what country I'm in so that's a good start

    I have a rough idea of what companies are in my country, but I'll definitely do more research. Thanks!

    I always have kinda mid range PCs - currently MSI Board, AMD 2400g, 4GB 1650 GTX and 16GB - and never had any problems with them. Only problems i hear of seem to be mostly on high end systems.

    You can pretty much build / change systems on most PC sale websites i know (Germany). Ready configurated in different prices.

    Then alter to your preference and price. Try a balanced CPU (can be stronger as you can always easier upgrade the GPU) and GPU and 16 or better 32 GB and SSD + good Power Supply.

    I go for the known brands like MSI, ASUS, G.Skill, Samsung, Sandisk, Western Difgital. And as said never got problems with these.

    It depends on what kind of games you want to play.

    Custom built is a lot of work - but you can buy your parts individually over time and construct your PC when it's ready, which makes it less of a gut- punch to your wallet.

    Having more than 16g of RAM is a must, and you have to have a 2080 or better to keep things future proof these days.


    That being said, there are plenty of quality pre-builds out there.

    Pro tip - NEVER get water cooled.
