So, I'm dumb as shit when it comes to computer now. I'm operating with some family Christmas money and would like to keep things under a grand if possible. Basically what I wanna do that requires power is being able to game up to running a dolphin emulator well enough, graphical setting higher than like 720p really don't matter to me, if I can run some sorta newish PC stuff at lower graphic ends fairly smooth that's perfectly fine just wanna play new Vegas on PC with mods for the first time level. Also being capable of some light video/sound editing would be cool. Plz don't get too into the weeds here, I'm so behind on stuff it's kinda funny.

    Does the $1000 budget include peripherals like a monitor, mouse and keyboard, or do you already have those?

    EDIT: Saw the updates on peripherals, looking into it. EDIT: If I wanted to get max performance out of roughly $1000, probably something like this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rMnPh3

        Trying to get a bit lower budget and footprint, probably something like this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/t2RrPF

      i started looking at pcpartpicker and we made pretty close to the same build. Spending $1000 might as well get a real video card. The CPU with GPUs are....fine. But eventually theyll wish they had a video card.
