Upgrading to a new PC build
Hello all,

The PC I currently use is an older budget PC from 2015. As you can expect, most 3D games nowadays won't run on it. Not withought serious downgrades to graphics quality in the settings menu, anyway.

I thought at one point I would upgrade each individual component individually as time went on but never did and now I think I need a new build entirely. But as you know, each game on Steam seems to list slightly different spec requirements in its storepage. And I am not all that good at benchmarking each of the different parts, anyway. So I thought instead that I would list a few games in this thread that I might like to be able to run at their max settings and see if someone can suggest a build that can handle them all decently well.I understand that compatibility is an important consideration, otherwise I would just pick whichever parts I thought would be best on my own.

Anyway, here they are:

Steam won't let us list too many widgets without some of them not showing so a few other games would be:

Redout 2
Ziggurat 2
Ori and the Blind Forest & Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Warhammer Vermintide 2

Budget-wise, not too much of an issue unless it goes above 10K or so.

Any insights or advice you care to impart would be appreciated. Apologies for the lengthy post, and many thanks for your time and consideration.

10k?

Just go buy a nice prebuilt from newegg. You could buy a $800 prebuilt that would run all those games. This month they have black friday sales going. You can get a prebuilt gaming PC for less than 1k for sure.

$800 and comes with a Geforce RTX 5060

https://www.newegg.com/abs-cyclone-aqua-gaming-desktop-pc-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-intel-core-i5-14400f-32gb-ddr4-1tb-ssd-ca14400f5060/p/N82E16883360831

Decent reviews with 4 and a half eggs (stars)

* the sale price ends in 4 hours. But if you miss it don't worry they will have more sales this month and next month for the holidays.

Ask in the Hardware Forum for better help.
You should also add the resolution you are playing right now and if you want to change it to 2k or 4k in the future?

Dont buy a prebuild if you dont have to. Build the PC yourself or ask/pay someone to do it. But it isnt hard to do it yourself.
Dont buy the most expensive/best hardware just becuase you can afford it.
Dont cheap out on the mainboard/PSU.

Huh. None of the comments except for the last one I got notifications for.

Just to be clear, I included the budget because I suspected that some would try to suggest a build that was decent for the lowest price possible. And I would've appreciated it, too, but regardless I still need a new PC so I figured I should get a new one that does everything I want it to do because anything short of that would be a waste of money. I would need to upgrade again sooner which would be even more expensive, and not worth it if I don't plan to get any more high-end games in the future.

Anyway, yeah, this upcoming Black Friday will probably be my best opportunity to get a PC regardless of whether it is pre-built or not. I am not above building one myself but I figured I would need all new parts, anyway. That, and the compatibility factor; I am still not completely clear on what makes the various parts like GPU and processor compatible with each other, and like I said in the OP, benchmarking individual components is not my specialty. I just think getting a pre-built PC would save on a lot of figuring out. Especially when my deadline is Blacl Friday.

If you do want to build yourself then https://pcpartpicker.com/ is great and it helps a lot with the compatibility.

But if you don't know how to assemble it i'd just stick with pre-built. Also yes black friday there should be some great deals
