TL;DR: $1200 budget for the PC only. I live in the US. I want to play at 1440p and 144hz. I'll be buying and building in a few months, and the point of this post is to iron out the fine details about the pc so I know what to do when new tech comes out in a few months.

 

Budget Is $1500- $1200 for the PC, and $300 for the monitor. I don't need anything else besides that. 

I live In the US, and use USD. I don't have a microcenter near me.

I want to be able play whatever I feel like, but most likely I'll be playing older triple-aaa games or less-demanding games at 1440p 144hz. Hopefully I have a powerful enough rig that whatever game I want to play, I can just drop the settings and res if I need to, and play it. Otherwise I do want to do some content creation, mostly just some edits slapped onto a game. For this reason, I dont want to go intel for the lower core count for the renders, but since I'm not very serious, I dont want to waste money on a capture card.

Other details- I'm looking for an All-AMD pc, but Nvidia is fine for the GPU if there's a good deal going on. I primarily am looking for the parts to be compatible with Razer synapse (So Thermaltake, MSI, G.skill, and asrock, but at this price, I dont expect to much. I'll probably slowly upgrade over the years to a likely more expensive, and "better looking" rig, later on anyways). I realize that the new generations of GPU's launch in a few months, I know, I know. I plan on building In December/January, So no worries there. I'm just scoping out what's there, and what to (kind of) expect. The rough list below is just to visualize what I'm thinking. I want to use this to maybe iron out some more obscure details so I know what to do later on.

 

Rough list:

 

R 5 3600

b450 tomahawk max, with some wifi car stuck into it

16gb of cl 16 3600mhz ram

5700xt red devil or gigabyte tri-fan card

p400a digital or lancool2

seasonic focus gold fully modular

I Dont need extra storage atm. I have a 1tb HDD and a 500gb SSD.

 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

I said "some" because I'm still unsure what I'm getting. I dont currently have one, and I haven't done research on it yet
