New PC build Help

[Barneyy]

Hey Guys,

 

I would like to ask for some help in building my new rig. I just recently moved to the US and left my PC back home in Hungary. I really miss my setup so I was considering getting one for here. I could ask my friend to ship over my old pc or parts of it as to save money, but I would like to know your opinion first.

 

My old rig (from what I remember): 16gb ram, AMD Vega 64, 500gb SSD, intel i7-7700k I also had a really good 1440p 144Hz monitor, can't remember which model. I could ship some parts over (or the whole thing, which could easily cost $300+ and won't guarantee a safe shipping). The processor and the rams (and maybe the vega 64) could be shipped for less but it would take at least 3 weeks to get here. Still, it's an option to save some money. Or if it's worth to just sell those components somehow and buy a new pc here altogether. In that case here is what I was thinking.

 

For Budget maybe around $1500 with a $3-400 monitor. I'm not planning on 4k gaming (unless you guys recommend it to me), but I really really liked my 27inch 1440p 144Hz monitor.  I was just thinking shipping that to here.

 

 

Here is the new rig I was thinking about:

 

AMD Radeon RX 5700 or RTX 2080? 

16GB of ram (I don't really need 32 GB, do I?)

Intel CPU or AMD? I'm not sure which one is better. I could just ship my i7-7700k or get 

500GB SSD (I don't need extra HDD storage, I can cheap out here as long as the SSD is lightning fast)

Liquid cooling for the CPU 

motherboard that's compatible with all this

 

Think that's it, I don't need anything else. I like playing the newest games with everything maxed out 60-80 fps+ in 1440k. 4k seems to me a very infant technology so I'm not (yet) interested in it, but I'm also not up-to-date with the current technology, hence why I'm creating this post.

 

Thank you in advance for your help guys, any opinion helps!

 

All the best

 

Barney

I think this is a good build just the pc tho, but a air cooler would be cheaper than liquid cooling

Makes no sense to buy a 160$ CPU cooler for a 175$ CPU.

Sorry forgot to mention that I would go with a air cooler because they are cheaper than a aio

The new consoles that are coming out at the end of the year will have a Zen 2 8C/16T CPU, so 8C will become the sweet spot for next gen games in a few years.

Thank you for your suggestions guys!! I just went through it all and compiled a list. I just have a few questions left:

 

1. I won't have any bottlenecks with this build, right? Like is this processor good for the gpu? If that makes any sense
2.  Is this the best power supply under $100? The site has a note saying: "The Asus PRIME X570-P ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the SeaSonic FOCUS 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it." I would like to overclock sometimes so I'm kind of worried about this
3. Should I cheap out on the liquid cpu cooler? What would be a cheaper but just as good alternative? Do I even need it given the fact that the computer case has like 5 fans? 

This $1300 build gives me room for a $2-300 monitor, so it's almost perfect! 

 

Thanks again for your help, I greatly appreciate it!

Well for anyone curious, here is the final list, I ordered everything, most of the parts arrive tomorrow (hopefully).

 

I skipped out on a CPU cooler, I read that the cooler they supply with the cpu is okay enough. I ended up buying a 550W psu which I'm kind of concerned about but I hope it will be fine lol.

WIth the monitor, this unknown (to me) brand seemed to offer everything I wanted at the cheapest price. 1440p, 164hz, 5ms, IPS monitor. I think the motherboard comes Saturday so I'll update the post on the weekend. Cheers!

You’ll be fine with that 550w PSU, it’s a good quality one as well.
