Hey forum.

 

Looking for some advice for my first build, I'm trying to achieve 1440p 144hz for lighter games, and eventually an Index VR. Here's a quick list that I put together:

PCPartPicker Part List
Type Item Price
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor $172.39 @ Newegg
Motherboard Gigabyte X570 UD ATX AM4 Motherboard $159.99 @ Newegg
Memory GeIL EVO SPEAR 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory $66.99 @ Newegg
Storage Crucial MX500 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive $114.99 @ Adorama
Video Card Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB WINDFORCE OC 3X Video Card $499.99 @ Best Buy
Case Fractal Design Meshify C ATX Mid Tower Case $99.98 @ Newegg
Power Supply Corsair RM (2019) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply $114.98 @ Newegg
  Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts  
  Total $1229.31
  Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-05-20 23:58 EDT-0400  

 My budget is pretty flexible, I'm just trying to get an estimate for how much I need to save for this system.

 

Thanks. :)

you'll hit 1440p at 100fps with the 2070 super, source: me who runs games at medium high at 1440p at 100-120fps on a 2080.

CPU: Intel core i7-8086K Case: CORSAIR Crystal 570X RGB CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H150i PRO RGB Storage: Samsung 980 Pro - 2TB NVMe SSD PSU: EVGA 1000 GQ, 80+ GOLD 1000W, Semi Modular GPU: MSI Radeon RX 580 GAMING X 8G RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4 3200mhz Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E Gaming

If you get the tomahawk max instead which is still fine you can spend not that much more money on a 2080, if you want, or if you want a really good board the tuf gaming plus is great.

Laptop: HP Spectre x360 13t, i7 8565u with 16 gigs, 512 gig  nvme ssd, UHD 620 4k

Other laptop: Acer Chromebook cb3 431 with 4 gigs, celeron n3060 with hd 400 and 16 gigs eMMC soon to be a minecraft server?

Thanks for the reply, which games are you playing? I guess I should specify that I care more about the high refresh rate than the 1440p.

Admittedly, I didn't put much effort into researching the motherboard... Do you know if these boards will last into the future? I've heard that AMD might be changing their socket type.

I'll take that into consideration. Hopefully by the time I'm ready to buy I'll know more about the next gen stuff.

GTA V which is a poorly built game from 2015
final fantasy xv, a graphically intensive game from 2018

final fantasy xiv, an mmo from 2013

crash bandicoot n sane trilogy
spyro reignited trilogy
monster hunter world
overwatch
destiny 2
forza horizon 4
and some niche anime games
I'm a little too lazy to run benchmarks, but ultra/high and capping my frame rate at the same time is impossible for these games
I am willing to test one or two at your selection and settings since my i7-8700k should be close enough.

If they do, it will be 5th gen or later, and b450 will support 4th gen, and the tomahawk max is only about 120 USD, so not that expensive

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 :)

Sorry for the late response, I've been busy. I don't really have a super strict budget as I am just trying to see how much I need to save up. One question about the 2080 super, would it be bottlenecked by the Ryzen 3600? Would the system need a better CPU?

It should be fine, the ideal situation would be a 3700x/2080super but for a pure gaming rig you won’t notice a difference

Would a 3700x work on the build that @SavageNeo suggested? Would any of those parts need to be changed to accomidate it?
