Wanting to buy a new prebuilt gaming PC. My budget is between $1000-$1500. My PC now can't handle WoW, and other games. The screen blacks out from time to time, and the Lag is crazy. I've had this PC for 11 years. It's an NZXT streaming PC. Which ones do you recommend in 2026? I just want to casually game with my friends, since I'm going into nursing school, and want to run some ranked arenas from time to time.

I’m stuck on the Erlang fight on my first play through. I’m level 105. I got all the secret items, and defeated all the secret bosses besides one of them in chapter 4. I’m getting my ass kicked. But I’m thinking do I need to beat erlang on my first play through or will I be deemed as a failure for completing the game now then beating him again in NG+

I got a prebuilt NZXT gaming PC back in 2015. I don't go on any sketchy websites. I've pretty much taken care of it all these years. I play games like League, WoW, Diablo, etc. Also, I'm not going crazy on the graphic settings. I love to game, but I'm also going to school for nursing, and I work in an ER. So I'm more of a casual gamer.

Recently, my computer started having a hard time running the games mentioned above. Like the screen would just turn black out of nowhere. The FPS on my games would drop down to like 30 then bump back up to 80. It's been 11 years. I kind of want a new setup.

What are some affordable good prebuilt gaming PC brands would you recommend?

Also, in your opinion. Dual screen, or one big monitor? I'm getting rid of my TV in my room. Since I barely use it, but I want to be able to still watch things or have things play in the background while I game. I was thinking of getting a big monitor, and still use the other monitor I currently have. It's a 144 hz HP monitor I got from Best Buy when I got my PC back in 2015
