build Gaming & Productivity PC build

[adi051]

Hey guys! I will use the PC mainly for Photoshop/Illustrator work and also for some Premiere/After Effects/Cinema 4D...

I'm building a PC for gaming and productivity.

I want play all games at high settings. At least 60 FPS, 1080p and 1440p.

I found these components for 1058 euros, which is also the limit of my budget.

Some parts I'm purchasing in Germany, some in the US and some in Slovenia.

I'm not sure about the cooler and the PSU. Maybe some others for the same price are better.

I'm also planning to buy the LG Ultrawide 34UM58-P monitor later.

I want to hear your thoughts on this setup. Any advice if I should change something?

Thanks!

Ditch the X, get a 1600 and overclock it yourself and that way you also get a decent stock cooler you can use while you wait for a better one.

 

$370 for a 1060?! is that what the GPU mining craze has done. WTF im check that in a second.

 

PSU could do with an upgrade i'll look at that too.

 

Also beware issues with MSI boards on AM4 I saw a thread about them this morning so the issues are still present, got for Asus or AsRock.

You can replace the case since there is some spare budget.  If you want a SSD you can add that later. Just partition the HDD into 200GB and 800GB sections and install Windows into the 200GB piece so you can copy and paste that piece to the SSD and boot from it easily.

 

I like your choice on the monitor, because IPS [fapfapfap]
