I'm planning to build a new budget PC, but I'm confused about which components to prioritize. Should I allocate more budget to the CPU, GPU, RAM, or storage? I'm also unsure about cooling, power supply efficiency, and case selection—how do I strike the right balance? I'd love to hear your experiences and recommendations to find the best price-to-performance ratio. Share your ideas and preferred configurations, and let's build a guide together!

Bro, for a budget PC, prioritizing the GPU first and then RAM makes the most sense; pairing a decent value card like a GTX 1050 Ti or RTX 3050 with 8GB RAM and an SSD combo is enough, and you can get away with a mid-range Ryzen 3 or i3 for the CPU. Honestly, while high-end builds waste money on the CPU (like an i7 + 16GB RAM), in budget systems, saving on the GPU to bump up the CPU a notch (i5 + 12GB RAM) gives a better balance.
