https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gsDsh9 For 4k you want to get a system with 32gb of ram and then just focus on the best gpu you can fit into a budget. 9070xt would be a pretty good 4k gpu, 16gb is enough, it's decently fast, you get fsr 4 native support with fp8 mode, and it's a lot cheaper than a 5070ti ($900+). Nvidia would generally be better for running ai locally though but you'd be downgrading to a 5070 12gb to get it to fit into a $1500 budget and that's about 25% slower and 12gb is less than ideal for 4k gaming. https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder-intel.aspx?load=d5a500e8-e420-4e34-a158-b1008af75278 Using a bundle deal to get a good cpu, board and 32gb ram. Looks like they raised the prices on the ryzen ones recently and they are all $50-100 more than they were a couple days ago. The intel ones are still pretty cheap though. The 265kf bundle for $500 would be the cheapest one I'd get, I'd say the 270k+ is easily worth the extra $50 though. They also might have this antec flux case for really cheap. I don't know if that's open box or what the deal is but $55 for that is a great price. Something that nice is normally around $100. The nzxt h7 for $35 + a $20 5 pack of fans would also be good if that's not available or it's all beat up or missing pieces.
