I'm looking to upgrade from my ancient computer that's around 12 years old. It used to handle games like Bo6, but lately, it's been struggling and I can't even get it to run anymore. I'm considering getting a new PC but I'm torn between building one myself and buying a prebuilt system. I don't have much experience in building PCs and I'm not sure where to start or what parts to buy. My budget is $4,000, so I want to make sure I get something good. I know that a GeForce 5070-5090 is a solid option, but that's about all I know. My dad is also looking into PC parts, but I suggested we buy directly from the main sites instead of Amazon. There's just so much to think about! I'd really appreciate any advice on whether I should build my own PC or go for a prebuilt one.

If you have a MicroCenter nearby, they usually have great prices on parts. Otherwise, check out PCPartPicker; it's a fantastic resource for comparing prices and ensuring compatibility for your build. For a budget of $4k, you can definitely create a powerful setup!
Thanks for the tip! What parts would you recommend for gaming on COD or GTA?
