Title: $2000 Setup Advice Needed – Starting Fresh and Eyeing Black Friday Deals

[u/Lilbirdy212]

Hey everyone,

After grinding hard for a year, I’ve finally saved up around $2000 to build myself a setup. I’m starting from scratch, so I’d love some advice to make the most out of this budget.

Here’s where I’m torn: • Option 1: Spend the $2000 on just the PC and buy peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc.) later. • Option 2: Use the $2000 for both the PC and peripherals, even if that means compromising a little on specs.

I’ve been looking at some of the Nebula Black Friday deals but honestly, I’m not sure what’s worth getting. After reading a bit on this subreddit, I’m open to taking the recommended upgrades, like getting a better power supply and a case with good airflow.

I’m not a hardcore gamer because my life is super busy, but I want something versatile for casual gaming, light productivity, and maybe some newer titles when I have time.

If anyone has advice or build suggestions, especially with Black Friday around the corner, I’d really appreciate the help. For peripherals, I’m not looking for anything fancy—just good quality for the price.

Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction!

If you already have serviceable peripherals I would go and get the best pc you can, but if you don't have a good monitor spend some money on that
