Determining a budget depends largely on what performance you want out of it.  I'll list some questions for you to consider below, and based on your answers I can point you in the direction of the components you'll want and about how much a total build will cost you.

- Are you looking for a build that will *run* current gen games, a build that will give you 60 FPS at 1080p with graphics settings towards the higher end, or a build that will give you 144 FPS minimum in 1080p/60 FPS at 4K without breaking a sweat at max graphics settings for the next 3-5 years?

- What operating system do you want?  Most likely this will be Windows since Windows is the OS for gaming, but if you prefer 7 to the exclusion of 10 it'll (unfortunately and indefensibly) limit your compatibility with newer, higher-end components.

- What else do you want to do with your build?  Any interest in video editing? Planning on using it for work?  Aside from gaming, would it just be a Netflix/web browsing machine?

- Do you care about slow boot times/longer load screens in-game? (SSD vs HDD)



That should get you started.  If I think of any more useful questions I'll add them, but once you let me know what you're looking for I'll start the information deluge.

I NEVER squeeze my jubblies, so that stuff wouldn't work for me.
