First time PC buyer here. Need help picking between three options.

Hi everyone. Following all the news about pc parts getting more expensive, I’ve decided to finally get a pc. I would like the PC to be under $1.5K, preferably 1.2K seems to be the sweet spot. In terms of gaming, I’m not really a big frame rate/preformance guy. I have a base PS5 and that’s good enough for me. I would just like a PC that can play all games (now and future) at a decent preformance.

Future proof is kind of a big thing for me. I don’t want to get something and have it be outdated/useless within two years. Kinda why I chose options with DDR5 instead of 4. If you can’t tell, I don’t really know what I’m talking about, I just go off what I see online and what my friends tell me.

After searching the web I’ve come down to 2-3 options. Any help or advice on what to pick would be super helpful.

  1. CyberPowerPC - Intel Core Ultra 5 225F - Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 8GB - 16GB DDR5 Memory - 1TB SSD - Sale price $1.2K, originally $1.46K

  2. CyberPowerPC - AMD Ryzen 7 8700F - AMD Radeon RX 7700 16GB - 16GB DDR5 Memory - 1TB SSD - Price $1.36K

Those are the main two but there was also this third one that was my choice for a while before finding the other two

  1. Thermaltake LCGS NE i1460-V170B - Intel Core i5-14600K - ToughRam 16GB DDR5 - Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 - 1TB NVMe M.2 - Price $1.2k

Worth noting that the first two come with a mouse and keyboard while the third doesn’t.

Sorry for the long post, you may think I’m an idiot and you’re absolutely correct lol. Any advice whether obvious or not would be appreciated. I’m also willing to answer questions if it would help.

Thanks!
