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 :)

Crappy board. A 3300x is better in almost every way.

having the games installed onto the computer doesnt mean you own them you still have to reset passwords and emails for all of the steam and other accounts and the owner can just claim they were hacked after the sale and revert the passwords and email addresses

Just to show you, this is probably what that pc you found was. $120 less and some of those parts on yours were used.

the psu is subpart, a system power 9/ pure power 11 400w will be more than enough and will be better.

Thank you so much for the information. There would be a slim chance of me buying it.

I really am planning to build one myself but the prices of parts here in my country is kinda higher. Probably $20-$30 more.

K lol. At your budget it would probably be best to spend a little bit more on a B450 Tomahawk MAX motherboard, buy a 2200G APU and no graphics card, and buy a next gen GPU when it comes out. You can buy a GeForce NOW subscription if the iGPU isn't good enough for you, but it can handle CSGO and MInecraft with no problems. When Zen 3 and next gen cards come out, buy a 4600 and sell the 2200G, then buy a proper GPU (before you buy the 4600 as it won't have an iGPU)

Hmmmm...

I'm gonna think about it. Thanks for giving me the idea.

You can't use Zen 3 on B450 boards right, unless you update BIOS?

I'm new to PC stuff and I don't even know how to build one myself.
