Hello all,

I was looking at either buying or building a new pc. It would mostly be used for gaming. I’m looking to spend around $1500 not including monitor, keyboard, mice etc…. I haven’t looked in a while, I’m not sure if it’s still better to build your own or buy something prebuilt. I would really appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.
