Hey everyone!

I’m upgrading from my old laptop to a desktop and looking to build my first custom PC. I’m not very experienced with PC parts, so I would love some guidance from this community.

My Goals & Details:

Budget: $1,500 USD (I have some wiggle room, but prefer to stay under).

Primary Use: Mostly gaming, hoping to play at 1440p or 4K.

GPU Preference: I'm eyeing the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT or if there is a cheaper better alternative, or the NVIDIA equivalent.

System Balance: I want a build that leans heavier on GPU power for gaming, but has a balanced enough CPU so nothing bottlenecks.

Storage: 1-2TB ssd is enough.

I don't care about RGB.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.
