Title: First time getting into PC gaming, $1,500 budget. Need some advice“[itg]”

Hey guys,
I’m looking to get into PC gaming, but honestly, I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to choosing a computer lol.
I’ve always played on consoles and my MacBook. I’m pretty casual when it comes to gaming, and I don’t play a ton of different games.

RuneScape has always been my main game, and I tried WoW years ago. I’d like to get more into MMOs and maybe try some other games down the road.

My budget is around **$1,500 for just the desktop**, and I’m looking for something decent that will last me a few years. I’m not trying to play every high-end game on ultra settings or anything like that. I just want a solid PC that can run MMOs smoothly with good graphics.

I’ve been looking at prebuilts because I honestly wouldn’t know where to start with building my own PC. I’ve seen a bunch of different CPUs and graphics cards, but I have no idea what’s actually worth the money.

What would you guys recommend for my budget? Are there any prebuilts you’d suggest, or specific specs I should be looking for?

Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Do you have a Microcenter near you? If you do, go there. It’s amazing, the staff is super helpful. I recently purchased my son’s first gaming PC there. It was a great experience.
