So I want to try out PC gaming since I watch it constantly, I want one I can stream/game on and wanting 2 decent monitors with it for my streaming. Wanting to spend around $1,500-$2,000 at most. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated since I'm brand new to the PC community,

Thanks -

Are you going to be building or buying a prebuilt pc?

I want to try building it but I also don't want to screw it up somehow. I've never built one before.

You can buy some decent pre builts but most of the time they're more expensive to buy them like that. You could use pcpartpicker.com to determine your pc build and maybe find someone who knows how to build or you could easily watch a step by step video on how to build one

Build guides are always out there. I will be building my own PC within the next week and I will be following a guide and help from my older brother. To my understanding, it's just like plugging something into a another plug. Best of luck to you and would suggest going non-prebuilt.

Okay, thanks! I've been looking at parts for it but it honestly just confuses me because I'll go on pcpartpicker and I see so many different stuff you can get and I honestly have no idea what I'm doing. That's why I'm hoping someone could give me some pointers and such on what to get. Monitors to get, mouse, keyboard, etc.

Everything is based on your budget and how expensive your actual pc is going to be.
