First time building a pc and can't decide which parts to get

[Pimi]

Budget (including currency):  $850 usd

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: COD WarZone, Apex Legends, Fortnite, CS: GO, DaVinci Resolve editing (1080p), streaming

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): I already have a 144hz monitor

 

Planning to build my first gaming pc for around $850. I will be using it for 1080p gaming and maybe 1440p gaming on light titles. I will also be using it for 1080p video editing and some streaming. Any tips and advice on the build are greatly appreciated! I made 2 pcpartpicker lists but don't know which one is the best one for the price. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated!

Wait for 4000 series, close to release now. As the G series APU were announced. If you can wait.

 

PSU on first build switch to RMx. Still all mix bag but I hear it's better to go with RMz series.

 

Everything else looks fine. IMO

I would go for the second list, although both are good. You get a better motherboard and a higher quality PSU.

Could save $15 by going with a Crucial P1 drive instead, but otherwise looks good

You may consider a 4TB+ HDD for mass storage. Depending on the games you play, 500GB can be filled very quick. Also for your editing it might come in handy.

if you can stretch a budget a bit you can get something like this

I will be upgrading from the original Xbox One which is going to be a huge jump. Would waiting for the 4000 series be a big difference and pairing it with a B550 board?

Ok. I will be upgrading from the original Xbox One. Will it better if I wait for the 4000 series or just get the 3600?

Ryzen 4000 is probably not going to be released till the very end of the year, so I would go ahead and get the 3600. However, if you feel you can wait, theres no harm in it.

If you can wait I'd say wait. If you NEED it now then either way you'll be happy. as far as I know there is no confirmed 4000 series launch date. So as @marmour said. If you can wait do so. So you get the new. The B550 will work with them. Shouldn't be to much longer and if you can save a little more money while waiting, the better the CPU.
