Hello all,

I haven’t built a computer in a long time.

Right now I play on a Laptop, Acer nitro 5. It has a RTX 3050, i5 -12500H. Out of the box it only had 8gb ram, but I upgraded to 16gb.

It’s not a bad computer, I can play games like Hogwarts Legacy, Elden Ring, Alan Wake 2, etc on 1080p and medium-high setting with ~60fps

However, I would like to upgrade to a desktop and game in 1440p 144hz.

I’ve been out of the PC market for a while as I’ve mostly been playing PS5, but I’m looking to upgrade to something that will outperform my PS5. Recently I tried to play Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, but my computer was unable to launch due to not meeting the minimum requirements. That was a push for me to finally want to upgrade.

What I’m looking for:

•I want something pre-built.

•I dont quite need 4090 level, but I would like something that will last for at least the next 5 years or so.

•Price is not a huge hurdle, but I don’t really want to spend more than $3000.

P.s. I live in Japan, PC parts are very very expensive here.

Any advice? Thank you
