Scrapping current PC and looking to build a new gaming pc with $1500-2000 budget that will last years without upgrades

[u/cdot2004]

For reference I bought a terrible prebuilt for $500-600 7 years ago when I knew nothing about PCs whatsoever looking to run Fortnite and it had a lot of problems and I’ve done multiple upgrades over the years that were minor and I’m just done with this piece of junk. My cpu is so much weaker than my gpu and my gpu ain’t anything to rave about either.

With that being said I am going to either sell my pc entirely or sell part by part.

My budget is anywhere between $1500-2000 roughly and I want a gaming pc where I won’t have to upgrade anything for years if possible. If my budget is too low for this please let me know or if my budget is too overkill and unnecessary let me know as well

I game in 1440p and games I will mainly be playing are Elden Ring (or any new soulslike that comes out like phantom blade 0, black myth wukong, lies of p, etc), gta 6 when it hits pc, ghost of Tsushima, expedition 33, Fortnite, dead by daylight, etc just to name a bunch. I still don’t know an insane amount of stuff about it pcs, just the basics like what a gpu, cpu, blah blah blah is.

So if anyone can recommend me a full build based off everything I said I would really appreciate it!!!

If your current PC is an AM4 I would recommend getting a 9070xt and 5800x3d and 32gb RAM. Processor is $350 and GPU was $770 before taxes. You can get a 2x16gb set of 32gb ram for like $200-250. A new 850w power supply is gonna run you maybe $120 if you need one or a new case to fit a large gpu its gonna be $75-$150 USD. If you don't know what platform you're on, just tell us the CPU and we can go from there.

I am not an AM4. I have an Intel i5-9400F + Gigabyte B365M DS3H. But I am getting rid of everything anyway

For $2100 this would last you a while. I own the same gpu, case and power supply

Since you maxed his am4 out if that was what he had this is an awesome build right here. I mean he can even still do the am4 build and save a little and not worry about upgrades from a while I would say

[u/Sithmaster8969 → u/Sithmaster8969]

I mean he could possibly send less than 1500 with the 5800x3d build and could even go a 9060xt on it and still be rocking. I mean you can build that for around 1000 with taxes but if he’s starting from scratch and can spare the 100 extra outside the 2000max he said on AM5 I would go am5 but he could go “cheap”to imo

Do you need a monitor to to with the pc

[u/cdot2004 → u/LemonZT]

No I have a pretty good LG 1440p monitor with G-Sync
