mostly used macs for the last decade and a half. Got a surface pro last year and am in the market to build a PC. Mostly to do light photo editing, gaming (nothing too intensive), and some streaming as well. Any tips?

I find it odd that Microsoft Office is now a subscription-based software.

My friend is looking to build a pc for gaming, specifically the new age of empires. I think he’s trying to spend around 1500 max. Where should he start ? Neither of us have any idea 
Im gonna read through here to get an idea
Also would it actually be worth waiting for BF/cyber Monday?

Very good budget. BF:Cyber Monday usually bad deals. I say start with the video card and processor and build out from there.My friend is looking to build a pc for gaming, specifically the new age of empires.

Yeah i'd say start with the processor and see what you'd like and figure out your price point for it
After that i'd shift to motherboards to see whats out there that you like that has the correct socket type for your processor
Then i'd look at memory that is compatible with the form factor of that motherboard... DDR3 is phased out for newer mobos as far as im aware so it should just be DDR4 atm
Then i'd begin looking at a GPU since dude is gaming on it and Age of Empires on high graphics will be very demanding so dont skimp
Then you can look at cooling and cases which can fit all of these parts

At least the sub is an affordable yearly price, remember when you had to shell out $200+ for the actual program

Can get something pretty sick for $1500 man. Does he need monitors? Mouse? Keyboard?
Here's a start for around $1200.
