Hey everyone! I'm looking to build a PC and my budget is between $1250 and $1500. I'm pretty new to this and I'm not really sure where to start. I've heard that prebuilt PCs don't usually hold up to custom builds, so if anyone has some advice or can recommend components, that would be awesome! If you know of any decent prebuilt options too, I'd appreciate that info as well.

CuriousCoder92: Thanks for the link! I definitely want something with a glass side for aesthetics.
