AMD Build Plan (first build)

[Deekzie]

Hello everyone, this is a bit of a long read but hopefully u can help me out.

 

 

1. Budget & Location

I am located in Canada, Unfortunately alberta is 10x colder than bc and I plan to spend about  1800$-2000$ cdn (roughly equals to 1400-1550 $US and 1070-1200 $CAD) I am on this strict budget and cannot go above because I will work a bit before and for my entire school break. 

 

2. Aim

The main focus is going to be gaming (75hz 1920x1080 monitor) and watching Youtube videos. I might potentially go pro, but school will severely limit me.

 

I play mostly fortnite(please don't criticize it), but i intend to move to other games like apex, and possibly rainbow six siege With my current hardware pick I'll get 3 months of gamepass on pc for free so there's a wide variety of games for me to play.

 

 

5. Peripherals

There's no plan the purchase new peripherals(but possibly a headset). Currently on Logitech G502 hero, G213 progidy, and some cheap sony headset i got 2 years ago for like 30-40$

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

Well as i said this is my first build, before i used to play on a trash 700$ amd r4 laptop with integrated graphics, then i moved to an xbox, but i hate the xbox live gold u have to buy and i enjoy pc gaming more

is there anything i need to know or anything i'm missing

I'm not sure whether i need to upgrade my monitor from before because i might potentially be bottlenecking my system, I will get windows 10 like a couple of days after i build the pc, and is my power supply good enough or should i upgrade to a 750w one?
