I'm super excited to finally build my own PC, especially to dive into Cyberpunk 2077 with mods and top-notch graphics. I have a budget of around $1500 to $2000, but I'm totally new to this whole building process. What components would you guys recommend to get the best experience with the game? Any tips on where to start would be greatly appreciated!

Before you buy anything, think about what resolution you plan to game at. Are you going for 1080p, 1440p, or 4K? That will heavily influence your GPU choice. For example, if you want to game at 1440p with 120-144 FPS, consider a 5070Ti or 9070XT. After picking your GPU, you can choose a CPU like the AMD 9700X or Intel 12600K, and build your setup around it.
It's awesome that you're building a PC! With your budget, I'd suggest going for a Ryzen 7800X3D paired with either a 9070XT or a 5070Ti graphics card. You'll want a B650 or B850 motherboard and I recommend at least 32GB of RAM at 6000 CL30. Don't forget a minimum of 2TB for your NVME SSD; Gen 4 is definitely more than enough for gaming!
Thanks! I appreciate the advice. I want to go for 1440p, so this helps a lot!
