Build Advice First-time PC Build ?

[Fluffers531]

Hello so I’m new to this whole PC situation so I been learning quite a bit about it.I’m willing to save money up so I can buy my first gaming PC which I might go to the $2000 range or a bit more.

What I’m trying to learn is what type of GPU, CPU and motherboard etc I need because I don’t know what I’m doing. I found videos but I can’t understand it since it’s too complex for me to understand these type of things so any help would be appreciated.

Your title says "PC build".

Your text says "buy my first PC".

Clarify.

Do you want to buy a pre-assembled, ready to use PC?

Or buy a bunch of parts and assemble it yourself?

Or maybe you haven't decided?

You have a nice budget. Is there anything you can salvage from a previous PC (keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc)? That will open up some savings that can be applied to other parts.

What are you wanting to play and do you have any aesthetic or size preferences?

Any games, especially the big ones and for the size I’ll say the biggest one

I mean size of the PC 😉 and aesthetics like do you want a wood panel PC, a small PC, a fish tank, RGB or not etc etc

What sizes are there ? And I’m not sure about the aesthetics I have to look for the ones I like

Basic is you have 3 motherboard sizes ATX, Micro ATX and ITX biggest to smallest. There's different case sizes and the smaller motherboards can fit in the larger cases. For example mATX can fit into ATX but ATX can't fit into mATX.

If you go on PC part picker you can search just cases and have a scroll down. With a 2000 budget you should be able to get one you like.

I wouldn't count on any 50 series being available at launch, after the paper launch that was the 5080 and 5090.
