I have a Dell XPS with a GTX 1080 in it and it's getting a bit dated. I would love to build a machine. I was thinking possibly amd, as it seems better value. I figured I'll keep my 4tb nvme drive and maybe the ram but I should probably buy everything else new.

Any recommendations or should I just mess around on pcpartpicker?

What's your budget? What kind (DDR3, DDR4, DDR5) and how much RAM do you have that you want to keep? Do you care about SFF (small form-factor) or not, RGB or not, etc.?

My budget is about 1500. I found some recommended builds but there are always people in the comments saying it's not good for such and such reason.
