I've read a ton of articles, wikipedia pages, and what each part does for a PC. There's just too many numbers and letters for me to retain any of it. I might just be a noob, but it's a lot to take in.
This is my first time posting on any PC site, and this one appeared to be active. I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong forum entirely, but I didn't really see a Building forum. I figured the people in this one would be of most assistance. I've looked at past threads like this, but most were looking at spending less than $1000 and had tons of people arguing about 'better options' in the replies. I'm aware that there's always going to be a better option and I'm willing to accept that no PC is perfect in my price range.
Being said, I'm trying to build a gaming PC that will last me a few (3+) years of gaming, but I have no idea where to start. I'm looking to spend $1500 max. If you can provide a full build, that'd be awesome. I'm willing to read and learn from what you suggest. Any information (such as pros/cons) to the build you suggest will be extremely helpful.
Two of the most common questions I saw on threads were:
(1) "What do you already have?"
A: Nothing. I have no screen, no OS, no case. When I say nothing, I mean nothing.
(2) "Is the case a big deal for you?"
A: No. As long as it holds everything and won't implode, melt, or overheat, I'm not picky about its appearance.
ANY help or information will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
