Guys I had pentium 4 pc which I bought probably 10 years ago and since then neither had I any money nor the time. Now that I am working and saving I want to build a high end overkill pc for gaming, streaming and editing probably. And after a lot of research have chosen to go with ryzen 3900x but I am torn between lot of options for gpu. I am currently saving and will have probably enough by december for it all. Kindly advice regarding rtx 2080ti which one would be the best? And also I am in Pakistan so most likely I will be buying from local vendors who import such hardware and there will be no customer support. So its all or nothing if I get it wrong. And since I am a beginner I won't be water-cooling anything. So it would have to be something like aorus extreme or msi gaming trio or asus strix.聽 Please Help 馃槦.

Tier lists for building a PC.

聽

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

聽

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

聽

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

聽

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

聽

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/聽 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

聽

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

Ask me anything :)

If you are waiting until december anyway then you should also wait until december for your gpu choices. New graphics cards will probably release by then that are faster than the 2080ti
