Hi,
Thanks for reading.
1. Budget & Location
I am based in Germany, I would be willing to spend 2000 € on my first gaming PC (Maybe 3000€ with a decent Monitor) but I don't want to go too much over the top.
2. Aim
Gaming is the most demanding task do.
Currently I am playing Borderlands 3.
But I just want a system that can run current games reasonably well.
3. Monitors
I am planning to get a monitor as well. I would like a wide display with 1440p and 144Hz.
If you have a suggestion, I'd be thankful.
4. Peripherals
I have a keyboard and a decent mouse. I will have to get Windows aswell.
5. Why are you upgrading?
Here goes my story:
I have a lenovo Laptop that I use for gaming (if you can call it that). I get 20 fps in Borderlands 3.
My Laptop has seen better days. I am not satisfied with it.
The powersupply died last year while I was writing my thesis. That completely broke my trust and our relationship.
Before that the harddrive died. I replaced it with a too small SSD. (bigger ones were expensive back then and I didn't want to put more money into this laptop)
I want to play with my friends without them complaining about my shitty setup.
They also complain because all my mics are humming. (I tried multiple)
Laptop:
i7-3612QM 4core 2.1GHz
8GB RAM
GeForce GT 740M

I'm thinking about maybe getting a VR Headset. Do you think this would be enough to run it?
I appreciate your tips and recommendations.
Here are my thoughts on the system:
case - I wanted good airflow for cooling
cpu - I think this one is decent. Not sure if I need more.
gpu - I'm not sure if this is over the top. But I'm suffering from my 740M
mainboard - I don't want multiple GPUs and I don't want to overclock. So I figured mATX is ok. Other than that I went with a recommendation from a youtuber.
I want to try the CPU cooler and ad a better one if needed. Maybe bequiet. I love the looks of the dark rock pro 4. But I think thats a lot of cooling for this CPU.
Thank you for reading.
And thanks for answering.
