I'm about to upgrade and build a new pc but I'm a bit lost when it comes to picking parts. I don't really know where to start and what I should be looking for. When it comes to prices is there a certain price ratio I should stick to?

I would like to be able to play new games at good graphics settings. As for budget I was thinking around $1500 but that's not very strict as I don't really know how much a good pc costs. So going over that is not out of the question.

Any help would be appreciated.

It depends on just how good you want your games to play.
A large amount of affordable used graphics cards can run new AAA at high settings at 720p.
Are you hoping for HD (1080p), 4K, or VR at all?

Assuming you don't need a monitor, keyboard, or mouse, this is a great option.

It will smoothly run games maxed out at 1080p, maxed out at 1440p, and even 4k with reduced settings.
