7 years+ ago u used to play a lot on computers, and i loved the original COD MW series. but i had some years without gaming, and three years ago i bought a PS4. But in reality i don't handle a controller as well as mouse and keyboard with takes a lot of the fun out of playing competitive games like COD. i cant really hang on those games on a PS4.

I have a my laptop that i used to play on before, but its 10 years old, and wont do much good now...

Therefore i have been thinking of getting a new one, ether a new laptop, or to build a desktop (for the first time :P ) 

I like the practicality of a laptop, especially because i do some traveling with work, but i also like the power and upgrade-ability of a desktop..  

One of my problems now is that even tho i like gaming, i dont have to much knowledge about computers, and i have seen some builds and laptops i think look good, but in reality i have no idea. I have been looking at reviews from LTT ETC. but my problem there is that most benchmarks regarding games focus on titles like tomb raider, fortnite, CS GO etc. and i don't know for x amount of FPS in those games translates to the games i would like to play... therefore i don't know if i'm going overkill, or not.

Performance wise i would like something that does good now, where i would rather have a good FPS than a 4k set-up, and something that is somewhat future-proof. 

because of the summer holiday starting soon i'm probably not starting this project until august (in case that some influence).

 

Budget (including currency): 

maximum 25000 Nok (about 2500$)

Country:  Norway

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 

At the moment i mainly play call of duty warzone and destiny 2

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

What i have been looking into now is:

ether: ROG Zephyrus G15 GA502IV with the AMD Ryzen™ 9 4900HS and RTX 2060 (depending on price on release) 

 

Or a build something like this:

CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 7 3700X 

GPU: ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER DUAL EVO OC

Motherboard: Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus (WiFi)

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000MHz 16GB

SSD: Corsair Force Series MP600 1TB M.2 SSD

PSU: ASUS ROG-STRIX-750G

Case: NZXT H510i 

Monitor: AOC C27G1

Keyboard: Svive Triton RGB

Mouse: Logitech G403 HERO 

 

Is this overkill? and/or should i change something? downsize? 

 

I'm open for questions

And thanks for any replies

If you wanna build i would go with this. It would be worth waiting a few months for new releases if you can as you will most likely get a much better bang for buck. Stock in Norway is pretty bad and could not find any 3600 speed ram but you can overclock the 3200 to 3600. There doesn't seem to many power supplies about either so i know 750w is overkill but its the best i could find. (same thing with cases- if you can find the meshify c i would go with that) i left the keyboard and mouse out as its down to personal research and preference tbh.

If parts are difficult to get hold of and you are not confident then look into a PC building service. 

 

My first gaming rig was a prebuilt rig to my specs, lasted me 9 years of happy gaming with zero worries. I upgraded it myself which taught me enough to eventually build my current PC.

i5 8600 - RX 6600 - Fractal Nano S - 1080p 144Hz

sorry a bit over budget but a 1440p 144hz monitor will really take advantage of your hardware. Very capable to play any games

Everthing will come with the components excpet you will need a phillips head screwdriver. All the screws should be in a little box somewhere inside the case and in the motherboard box.

You really dont like MSI boards! Fair point thought they do throttle. the b550-f and pro 4 are also good boards

I like MSI boards. I use one in my personal build. Its just that until you buy the Tomahawk or higher in their x570 lineup, their x570 boards are absolute shit.

As stated earlier i'm probably going to build this in August. But will it be better to wait until September, to what the Nvidia 3000-series bring? a cheaper market? 

If you wait, you could probably get a 3080/ a used 2080 super (maybe ti) instead of the 2070 super.
