Gaming PC

With consoomer Friday deals quickly approaching I was wanting to either build or buy a gaming PC.

I'm not looking to spend more than 1500-2000 USD. Maybe a bit more. Not including monitor. I want something decent to pvp on when Elden ring drops.

I'm just a console nigger and I don't really know shit about building a pc.

I'm currently looking into pc parts for an upgrade, but the prices have been crazy for a long time.

I'm wanting to go with AMD because people mention their chip slot will be the same for quite a few generations. Problem is, I don't know enough about ryzen cpu's. I have an i5 6500 8gb of slower ram, forgot the speed, 2133?

If anyone has advice it would be appreciated. I wouldn't want to go over 250 for the cpu and don't know any good current motherboards.

I upgraded from a similar i5 to a 3900x and the performance gain was very noticeable. It does run pretty hot though.

A 500 series AM4 board can use any of the 2-5000 Ryzen chips, though you might need to update the bios for your particular chip. Some board manufacturers make that easier than others. MSI or ASUS would be my recs. I actually spent more on the board so I didn't have faggy RGB bullshit all over it.

Thanks for the information. I did come to the CO clusion that a ryzen 7 5000 series seems like a good fit for me. I also agree with you on the whole RGB crap, I run a red setup now but a blackout would be cool.
