first time building pc Build Plan for myself

[Andiq1]

Hello guys,

So I have felt like it was time to get a new PC and i did not want to get myself a prebuilt, as its way more expensive.

I have already watched quite a view videos and reviews of the components i want to use. I am worried I will run into trouble or selected the wrong part somewhere.

1. Budget & Location

The budget its around 2000€ and my location is Europe, Austria

2. Aim

I will use this PC for high (ish) end gaming and probably some light video editing.

3. Monitors

I am planning on running one MSI Optix MAG271CQR 27'' monitor for now but this will probably change to two monitors in the future.

4. Peripherals

I will just need the monitor as i got my other equipment.

5. Why are you upgrading?
I am currently running one ok ish PC that can run games like overwatch one low to medium detail but i want to be able to play some demanding games too and that i dont have to go with medium to low settings with shadows turned off. I also want to get a pc that i dont have to update in the near future to keep things going.

So my current plan is this:

With the MSI Optix MAG271CQR 27'' monitor.
EDIT: I will use the Giagabyte X570 Aorus Elite instead of the AsRocke X570 PG 4

If you have any suggestions on what to change/add please tell me.

 

Many thanks
Andiq

The motherboard isn't that good. The solution i'd suggest is upgrade the motherboard to an asus x570 tuf or a gigabyte x570 aorus elite for 200 euros and downgrade the gpu to either a 2070, a 2070 super or a 5700 xt

2080S hardly gained anything from 2080. How big is the price gap?

 

That board is one of the weakest board on X570. I'd spend more here

 

Samsung drives are overpriced, plenty of other NVMe SSDs do better for what they are, say Adata's SX8200 Pro, HP EX920/950 and Corsair MP510 are just as fast for usually cheaper, or the Sabrent Rocket which is usually close in price but faster (PCIe 4.0 after all)

 

The fans for where? The case comes with 2 120mm fans, while the 2 140mm can go either up top or the front. In the former case you should still get another 2 120mm, in the latter 1 extra 120mm (as it can hold 2 140mm or 3 120mm in the front).

That actually looks pretty solid specwise.

Won't go into details, but I can tell you this much for sure.

1) Get an additional HDD/SSD... You'll need to store games somewhere, and 500 GB won't allow you to "stretch your legs" with modern AAA-titles.

2) Don't forget to overclock your memory (CPU and GPU are kinda obvious rn) and improve timings. Sweet spot in terms of perfomance is 3600 MHz. Below or above that speed you won't gain more perfomance. Here's more info on that:

3) Samsung SSDs actually have the biggest amount of GB that can be rewritten on their SSDs (it's something that russian site 3DNews tests for a long time now actually, and point still stands).

4) Can agree about 2080 and Super version, unless gap is less than 60 Euros. 8% perfomance bump in fps isn't something that worth a lot, you know...

I was thinking about putting the 2x140mm in the front and the spare 120mm on the top does it matter that much whether i put two 140mm on the front or 3 120mm ?

I know that Samsung is overpriced it was just a placeholder till i get a suggestion or till I find a better one as i didnt really search that much for storage.

Im thinking about getting the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite now.

There is a price difference for about 60-70€ between the 2080 Super (because the KFA2 is so cheap) so i think it is worth it for me

Having it shipped to austria would cost me € 825,14

You can get a high end 2070 super model for 200 euros less, and it'll perform closely to the 2080 non super

Ive actually watched a review where he compared the two and got like 15% better thermals then the founders edition
