Hi guys !

 

This is my first time building a pc, so I might need your advice in case there are some issues I didn't consider.

I have budget of 1500 euros, without keyboard and monitor (I already have a Razer Basilisk mouse). 

I would use this computer mainly for gaming, but also for game development (Unity, Unreal) and potentially some Blender. 

 

My first idea was this (price of GPU is missing but would be around 520 euros) :

Note that the prices are not very relevant since I don't have exactly the same in France, but I'd like to know if all this hardware can work together. 

 

Thanks for your advice !

Looks pretty solid, you can go with a different SSD if you'd like since the 970 Evo is often too pricey but eh I wouldn't bother changing anything here much.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Better GPU but louder fans: I don't know which country you are from so I can't give you an accurate shipping price.

Thanks for all the answers guys !

 

Well, Black Friday didn't change much the prices I had seen up to now, so I basically took the build I posted, just changed the power supply and the ssd. I don't think the rtx 2080 is worth the extra 150€ when you're already aiming for an rtx 2070 super. As for the motherboard, I'd like to be able to overclock the CPU, just in case. 

Thanks again for the suggestions !
