Can I start ordering?

Huib95

Hi everyone,

 

Past two months i've been gathering information on building a PC. 

 

My requirements for this PC:

 

  1. AAA+ games max settings at 1080p above 144 FPS steady
  2. VR Ready
  3. Black and Red looks

 

This is the build.

 

No, there is no HDD yet. 500GB will be enough for the first couple of months. I will probably add a 1 or 2 TB SSD a few months later. 

 

Any tips, or feedback on the build would be greatly appreciated.

Everything looks good, but you should swap out that EVGA 450BT for something better like a Corsair CX450. The 450BT is at the bottom of the PSU tier list we have here, and the CX450 is tier 2 out of 7. (1 is best, 7 is worst)

yeah no, not possible atm (I assume AAA+ means badly optimized AAA games)

 

Even AAA games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider needs RTX 2080 to do that on average, which means there are frame rate dips.

For high framerate at 1080p you'll be better off trading a bit of that multi-threaded performance and get an i5 9600K instead. 

 

i5 9600k review far cry 5 1080p

If you want performance, this build will be better.

The stock cooler isn't great, but it's fine. The SSD is SATA based, which will not affect game load times or Windows boot times. Upgraded to a 2080, a case that has a mesh front, a PSU that isn't crap, and peripherals that aren't from Razer.
