First time building gaming rig

Pretendent

Posted

hello everyone,

 

I'm trying to build myself a gaming PC. My budget is ~1600 euros with the monitor. 

I know about the zen2 but i can't wait, i suppose i could try a build with upgrade options on that CPU. I would like the option to overclock.

Also i prefer Geforce 2070 or similar not sure what will work best with the system. 

Can't decide about the case but, thinking Fractal Design - Meshify C or NZXT - H500, not sure though.

The RGB it's not that important but it won't hurt if it can be done. 

 

Thanks for help.

What's your performance target?

 

Also, make sure to quote or use @BigRom so people see your responses

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?

For your needs, this build will be superior. The 9600K completely beats all of the current Ryzen chips in gaming loads and it OCs very well. I also fit in an RTX 2070 and a nice 144Hz 1ms response time 1440p freesync monitor, all quite under budget.

You can't stream to the Shield (natively) with an AMD card.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
