PC for WoW 1500usd

Hello people. Im looking for your help and wisdom in this PC building thing as Im a complete ignorant in the matter.

 

Budget and location:

My location is México, but Im buying everything in the United Stated so the budged will be $1200 - $1500USD. Im willing to up as high as $1700USD if its required to achieve good performance, But the less I spend the better.

 

Aim:

Im looking to play mainly WoW, like, 90% of the use of this PC will be WoW. The other 10% Im thinking in games like RE2 Remake and a bunch of older games that I haven't had the chanse to play, like Bioshok Infinite and Metro Redux.

I also like to play DayZ (as unoptimized as that game can be).

 

Monitors:

Two. One at 1440p 60hz and the other at 1080p 60hz. 1440p to play and the 1080p to web browsing while running the game, discord and things like that.

I already have a 1080p monitor collecting dust under my stairs but I want to step up a little to a 1440p resolution.

Is a good idea to have two monitors with different resolutions?

I still have to buy the 1440p monitor but I will do it outside the budget. Any recommendation is welcome.

 

Peripherals:

I need everything but I think that's a research I can do myself. Nor the monitor or the peripherals are included in the budget so It doesn't matter.

 

Why I am upgrading:

As computers goes I only own a Macbook Pro for music production. Not gaming on that thing.. Also, I don't care at all about the looks of the pc, a boring black box under my desk is perfectly fine for me.

 

Hope you can help me with my build. I tried to be as clear as I could as Im still learning english. And thank you very much!

 

 

Edit: Added hz for the monitors.

Added some rgb fans for looks.

Since the motherboard has no wireless wifi connection added good and cheap usb wifi card.

Found the hz platinum in good price.

That video card will play you WoW pretty nice

That a-data ssd is very good fro the price, check reviews online!.

Found 2th hdd for pretty cheap.

16gb of rgb ram made for ryzen, can add more later.

That motherboard has rgb and it is pretty good.

Need a decent cooler for that ryzen.

That ryzen processor will serve you many years.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Isn't the Ryzen 5 3600 the same to the 3700x when gaming?

People like to give Razer a hard time. I've got a Man O War, Mamba wired and Black Widow Chroma V2. All were ordered just under 2 years ago, 15Dec19 to be exact. They all still work like they did on day one. My mouse did quit this last week, but that wasn't due to Razer. It was my fault. I needed to clean my left click button under the panel. In a *sauced* mid game rage(the mouse wouldn't stop left clicking), it got bashed on my desk. I will say that the mouse is surprisingly tough. Solid oak desk, after the first beating it worked right for probably an hour. Second time I hit it with the cord on the desk first. Not many mice will survive that.

 

TLDR: I've had great luck with Razer products. Only issue was my own doing.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

If we are being honest WoW (and even RE2 Remastered at 60hz.) Could easily be achieved at the $900-1000 range. 

Wow is pretty low requirement gaming. (And I dont mean that in a hurtful way. I mean it in a save your money way.)

This rig will shred frames in WoW 1440p Ultra settings, and really anything else you throw at it considering you're not trying to top 60hz. 

 

You could throw a Fuma 2 in there for a high quality, low noise cooling solution if you wanted to round up to 1k.
