So, I'm trying to get back into gaming on my PC, and need some help with a budget build. I have no problem assembling it myself, but seeing these 1,250 pricetags makes me not want to do it myself.
Can anyone on here give me recommendations for components? or a budget build capable of running most games?

If you're not ready to put 100+ just take a ps4
it's like the worst time to build a PC
almost all budged GPUs scyrocketed in price to to meme farming
*1000
PC gaming sucks for anything right now besides entry-level and top-end GPUS cause of miners
this. at under $1000USD it's not worth it
I'm willing to put up the $1000, but not for some piece of crap with 8gb of ram and a shitty GPU. Just trying to get an idea of a good build. Something with potential to be upgraded in the future as well.
i built this 2 years back and it's still working just fine, paid around 1k uropoors for PC + everything else
And honestly, the big thing I know nothing about is CPU's and Motherboards. That's the biggest question I have.
forgot
only thing i would change is add more ram and and more ssds. i can play any game at near max at 60
Get a 1070 and a 7600K or a Ryzen 5
16gb of ram, mobo and case are not that important
Don't go cheap on the PSU, I have a Corsair RM750X and works fucking great, but people normally recommend EVGA
You'll probably want a SSD for games and programs, and a 2tb HDD, which goes for pretty cheap
Thank you
mobo is basically pick near the cheapest one for your cpu socket and get the overclockable version
while we are in this thread
what are the chances my about a year old 960 is going to be able to play destiny 2 with better than console settings?
depends how much they care about the pc port
and recently no one does
Here is what you do kiddo
>pick AM4 or z270 platform
>pick the best cpu you can get on said platform
>get a 1050ti from stock listings so you dont pay the good goy tax
>get a standard HDD so you dont pay the china man trickster tax
>fucking wait for crypto cycle crash
>enjoy cheap SSD/high end GPUs flooding the market
For the Ryzen5, which model would you recommend?
There is no shame in buying a prebuilt.
This one has
>i5-6600K
>16 GiB RAM
>GTX 1060
>2TB HDD
>Legal Windows 10 license
>DVD burner
>Mouse
>Keyboard
>Wlan + bluetooth card
and it's still only $949.

they are taking it serious enough to bring in a special dev team and hold back the release a few months after the console.
so hopefully thats a good sign/.
Never ever do this
Look at the sockets on the board, i/o and headers.
If it has the ones you use all the time or may need, buy it.
Most people have a fuck load of USB powered devices and need more than 2 fan headers. Cheap boards have very few usb/fan headers
Ah, I love coming to specialty boards. Nothing else makes me feel quite as dumb.
I don't really know much about AMD CPU's, so I'd recommend watching some benchmarks and doing a bit of research
For intel mobo's, the key difference between Z270 and, H270 and B250 boards is whether they support overclocking and multi-GPU setups (H270/B250's don't support either)
For AMD both X370 and B350 boards support overclocking, but B350 doesn't support multi-gpu.
The specific motherboard you should pick depends on exactly what features you want for your build, so to start work out if you want to crossfire/SLI or overclock so you can narrow your search down to a particular type of board and go from there.
The 1600 offers the best overall value and sometimes overclocks better than the 1600X.
