complete "upgrade"

TsubasaLi · November 4, 2019

Hey everyone,

I want to upgrade my current rig, or rather, I want to build a completely new system but this time on my own. I'm living in Germany and my budget is about 1000 to 1200 euro. My current rig was built by Mifcom (company similar to ibuypower or cyberpowerpc and whatnot). At first I was obviously impressed with that built coming from a literal potato (AMD A4 pre-built with no graphics card from 2011 or 2012). Now, after having upgraded the GPU, RAM and adding an SSD I had and still have some issues of random freezes which I can't be asked to fix myself. Surely, I could fix it but I can't be asked anymore honestly I'd rather just sell it, which is what I also intend to do.

The PC will be mainly used for gaming mostly at High/Ultra settings 144FPS (Apex, Forza Horizon 4 etc) and basic compute work (MS Office etc). I can already get much more than 144 FPS with my current setup in LoL which is why I haven't listed it there.

Short disclaimer: I don't plan on building this new pc right now. I might do it starting December or in late February (end of term exams at the end of January which means no time for other things).

I've read through all the guides and tips for an hour or two and things that I knew myself and came up with this (unfinished) build in the end:

Obviously, a mainboard and a GPU is missing as I was unsure what mainboard I should go for. I was debating on just buying the Gigabyte Aorus Pro because you get the Gigabyte G750H 80+ Gold PSU with it. I was maybe thinking the MSI B450 Tomahawk Max or the Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite which I would most likely pair with the Corsair RMx650 PSU. As for the GPU: I was debating on getting a 1660 Super or a 2060.

Let me know what you think and please give me advice on parts I should rather take.

As others have suggested to me on my own builds, the MSI boards usually would be the better choice since they have better VRMs and power delivery. Getting a 1660 Super would be the best bet depending on your budget, but if you can go for it, get a 2070 super or even a 5700XT.

Hallo ich habe einen solchen PC mit diesem Budget auch für einen Freund konfiguriert, hier ist mein Vorschlag: PCPartPicker ist nicht so gut in Deutschland, bei Geizhals.de ist die Liste ca. 1150€ was in deinem Budget liegt.

VG und viel Glück!
