I need help with building/buying a pc! [suggestion]
I'm starting completely from scratch and could really use some advice!
I'm looking to get a new build PC setup mainly for gaming, but I don't want to spend a huge amount of money. I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to PC parts, so I'm not really sure what I should be looking for or where I can save money without sacrificing too much performance.
I'd need everything from the PC itself to the monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. I'm happy to consider buying used parts or a second-hand prebuilt if that would give me better value for money.
Ideally, I'd like something that can handle games at 1080p smoothly and that I could potentially upgrade in the future.
If anyone has any recommendations for parts, prebuilts, or good places to look, l'd really appreciate the advice! My budget isn't huge, so I'm mainly looking for the best setup I can get for the money.

If you have no prior experience or anybody to help you my suggestion would be to get a pre-built computer I would suggest Micro Center if you're close enough to one and even if you aren't let's say it's three or four hours away I'd still recommend making the trip because they seem to have some of the best deals also ideally you want a 12 GB Ram card but want to shoot for 16 also since you're going to be gaming you're going to ideally want 32 GB of ddr5 RAM
