Hello, can someone suggest a good build for a price range of around $800 vs $1000 vs $1200/1300.

If anyone also has the time, maybe even suggest multiple builds for a specific range, mostly the $800 vs $1000.

I also have a question about like amd vs intel cpu. I've looked around and I'm constantly seeing the amd ryzen 5 3600 being said that it is great for its price range? is it really the cpu I should be going for at the $800-1000 range, and what would be the intel equiv? I've read like the intel i5 9600+ cpu is also good but I have no clue what the difference is between like a 9400 vs 9600

For the gpu, what would be the best for the price range of $800-1000, and what is the difference between gtx vs rtx?

And lastly, if you know a gaming laptop between the range of $1000-1300 that could be equivalent to the pc build, what laptop would you recommend?

Thanks in the advance for the help.

The answers to most of those questions depend on what game/programs you intend to use the devices for. For the desktop builds in particular, we would need to know whether you already have a mouse, keyboard and monitor.
Lastly, we would need to know what country.

In this subforum, there is a sticky for this...
