I need help with a build

[Sgpagvbw]

Hi guys im very new to the world of building pcs, so new i didn't know what a cpu is untill yesterday, but besides that i've been trying to learn how to make a custom pc and I don't know what's good and what isn't so if someone could please help me figure out a build for a gaming pc with my budget around 1000~1500usd I would really appreciate it im trying to get a custom build because i'm trying to get the best bang for my buck instead of a prebuilt that might not be all that good

Do you need peripherals? Do you know what type of monitor do you want to use?

What games do you play?

I want to use a 1440p 144hz monitor and I do need peripherals, as for what games I play, minecraft, GTA V, BO4, red dead redemption and I want to be able to play cyberpunk 2077

Here's an option for ya.

 

I definitely would not expect to run games at 1440p 144 fps, but maybe 70-100 for AAA games like cyberpunk.

that build seems good but search around and find out what ray-tracing is and see if you want it.

If not i recommend going a non-raytracing card.

 

And personally i recommend rm650x psu just for a little safety in case you upgrade.

 

Ryzen loves ram speed so possibly may be better going faster ram such as 3400 or 3600.

Problem is, there's no card to compete with a 2080 level card. The 5700 XT is good, but not that good.

It does, but past 2933 (even past 2666) the performance increase is extremely minimal.
