[Rachg05]

Budget (including currency): $1,200

Country: USA

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

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 want to build a pc, pretty new to pc building so I only know the basics. I have no peripherals and no preference, just want a good quality pc that can run COD at 100+ fps.

So you need to fit monitor, keyboard and mouse into the 1200?

$1,200 for the desktop alone. The rest I'll buy used or from local shops.

What monitor do you intend on getting? Or what specs do you plan on shopping for

Can you wait two months? Much better value that way as new hardware will be launching.

I'd prefer not to wait and possibly upgrade later on. But if the difference in value is real big, I can wait a bit.

With this build, would I be running games like COD Warzone at a high framerate? Does the addition of a secondary monitor affect performance in any way? and what are the possible upgrades I can make to the build in the future?

Yes, no

 

And really anything on the AMD platform. You can get a new GPU, but a 5700 XT is more than enough for 1080p. I'm sure CPU wise you can easily upgrade in 3 years time

Sounds good. If I were to wait like @BlueScope819 mentioned, what is it exactly I would be waiting for? (sorry if thats a dumb question lol)

RTX 4000 series, Big Navi (both GPUs) Ryzen 4000 series, PS5 and Xbox Series X (if they are really good you could consider them but they also introduce stiff competition and drive prices down)

@BlueScope819 In that case, I will definitely wait, thank you and @Slottr for all the help!
