New PC Build

[Lemur44]

1. Budget & Location

So since I'm still in college i kind of need to keep the price down a little so I was thinking if i could keep it under €1,500. If it goes over a little for needed performance Id be happy with it. Also from Ireland so most would be in Euro's

2. Aim

My main aim for the PC would be gaming. But I will also be using the PC for college work which would have a good bit of video rendering, 3D work and some photoshop. I would also like to be able to stream as my current build cannot handle it and id like to be able to try it. The main games I play are [DayZ, Arma2/3, R6S, Battefield 4, Escape from Tarkov, rust and GTA V. Those seem to be the games i seem to be getting issues on and get very low FPS and forced to put on lower graphics. Id like to be able to play on high if not max settings at a stable high fps without any issues. I also plan to have two m.2s one of the OS and the other for a game or two l need to load reasonably fast which my current SSD cant seem to do.

3. Monitors

I have two monitors at the moment one is a 144hz monitor for games while the other is a 60hz monitor for TS or discord or any other applications I have open while gaming. I would like the option to get a third monitor in the future.

4. Peripherals

Have all my peripherals (HyperX Cloud II Headphones, Func KB460 Cherry MX Red, Razer Deatheradder and Razer Goliath Mousepad)

5. Why are you upgrading?

The main reason is during the past few years ive noticed a huge drop in performance on many games. For example EFT takes so long to load in it sometimes times out or so late theres no real reason to keep going. For rust I can go down and make food and Im still in the loading screen. And in general the FPS drops quite often leaving the main combat parts of DayZ or Arma completely unplayable. The computer i have now is almost 10 years old and just time for an upgrade. I made the mistake of not asking for advice the first time but hopefully this time will work out better.

 

Below is a build which I made without the video card. Im still stuck on AMD or Intel. Feel free to scrap the build or modify it. Id be grateful for any help at all.

@SavageNeoShould there be any problems gaming and streaming at the same time?

depends on the games you play and the quality of the stream. but r5 3600 is deceent for streaming so there arent probably any problems

instead of ryzen 5 3600. get ryzen 7 3700x. stock cooler is fine, but is pretty loud.

and instead of rx 5700 get rx 5700 XT

And would you recommend a water cooler or fan for an external cooler

This should be within budget. The current exchange rate suggests 1500 Euros is around £1305.

 

There shouldn't be any issue buying from UK stores if you are in Ireland. Might cost a bit more in postage from some stores.
