• Budget range? (Include tax considerations): Around 2k USD (+/-$200)

• WiFi or wired connection? Both would be nice. I don't know if I will move it one day or not.

• Size/noise constraints? No size or noise constraints really. Will probably have it on a hardwood floor outside of the actual entertainment center etc so shouldn't need something super compact. I can include a picture of the area it will probably be in that helps? Noise wise, I don't want it to sound like a jet engine about to take off of course, but don't think it should be too much of a concern. Open to suggestions here.

• Color/lighting preferences? Black, No lights etc. Looking for something that just blends in

• Any other specific needs? I would like to have a decent amount of USB connections. Thinking I'll need ports for wireless mouse, keyboard, controllers, headset, and possible externals drives that are loaded with movies etc. Open to suggestion here as well.

I will value high framerate over high powered visuals, so I think a ridiculous smooth 1440p is fine even if the TV can handle more. Open to seeing what can be come up with to get the most bang for the bucks. Happy to also have parts that will be easy to upgrade later if prices come down etc. Also this is just core components. OS etc will be outside of this budget

I need help choosing parts for a new build.

I'm looking to replace my current aging setup with a gaming PC that will last me for a few years.

• New build or upgrade?

  • New build.

• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

  • I have all the necessary peripherals.

• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

  • Gaming. I mainly play Space Engineers. My current decade-old computer does a decent job playing the game, but it struggles when I battle online on multi-player servers. ​​I'd like this pc to have enough headroom performance-wise to handle Space Engineers 2 on high-performance settings when it is out of early access.​

• Purchase country? Near Micro Center?

  • USA. I live within a few miles of a Micro Center.

• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

  • No monitors are needed at the moment.

• Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

  • I'm willing to spend up to $2500.​​​

• WiFi or wired connection?

  • I'd like the option to use Wi-Fi, but I'll probably be using ethernet for the majority of the time.

• Size/noise constraints?

  • The PC will mostly live in my office, but I'd like it to be small enough to move to the living room so I can play on the couch some times. I was thinking about MicroATX or smaller, but I don't know how realistic that is.​ I might be willing to increase my budget somewhat if it gets me a more compact machine without sacrificing performance too much.​
  • Quieter would be nice, but I'm not terribly concerned about PC noise (as long as it doesn't sound like a freight train). ​

• Color/lighting preferences?

  • I'd prefer it to be black. ​I wouldn't mind some RGB lighting, but nothing too over the top. As long as it looks like it could somewhat fit into a living room I'd be happy. ​

• Any other specific needs?

  • I'd like 2 TB of storage ideally. I might be able to get by with 1​. Thank you for your help!
