Building a New PC

I sold my previous computer for a chunk of cash. My plan is to make the best bang for the buck PC I can for a 1500-2000$ budget. I made this build and I was curious to see if I can further improve the efficiency of the build. I plan to overclock my CPU to about 4.5 - 5 GHz. I also don't care about an SSD or anything like that; I rather wait and have better performance ingame. Do guys have any tips or suggestions to improve this build?

Get an SSD. You're buying a killer GPU and CPU combo and SSDs make a HUGE difference in performance, and they're super cheap these days. Aside from that, it looks like a good build to me. :)

get a G3/G2, they are just as good as the RMx.

Well, they're also equally as expensive. What would be the advantage?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
