Recommendations for PC Build

[auburncrazy]

Budget (including currency): $2000

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Some AAA titles but most trying to do RTX and have a better VR system. I just want it to be smooth.

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): So I already own a PC but I want a second PC from scratch with the $2000 budget. I tried researching so I’m interested in ATX cases/motherboards. I’m open for any suggestions. I just have a few requirements that my motherboard should have and stuff for future upgrades. 
 

1. 2 - M.2 NVMe slots 

2. 2 - PCIE 4 slots for  2 GPU‘S(I only want one GPU for now but willing to listen)

3. I want the $699 3080 included in the budget but I might end up spending more than $2000 for the 3090. So I need a case that fits both. I might have an open case that’s basically a test bench so the GPU fits.

4. 4 slots for RAM

5. I would want more than 3000 Hz on each stick of RAM because I currently have 2666Hz 

 

I mainly plan on using this to play VR and to do ray tracing. I don’t care for the 20 series. I also prefer intel as it works better for me. 

 

I have an AOC 32 Inch Curved Monitor 144Hz and 1920x1080. Then I also have the valve index so that’s another 144 Hz and whatever resolution on each lens sorry

you don't mean that you want to buy the 3080 and then upgrade to a 3090 later on right? because that would be unwise.

You need a better reason to want 3000+ MHz RAM.  Ie.  How a CPU accesses it, Intel vs AMD.    Faster RAM just cause... not necessarily how it's done.

 

3090 for 1080p?  Are you kidding?

i don't want to suggest a 3090 for 1080p,

as i said above i think it would be unwise, but because of what he wrote it seemed like that was something he was considering

No, not you, the OP. Sorry I'll edit.

So I would buy the GPU last after everything. I want the 3090 but would settle for the 3080. I understand it would be unwise if i was looking to upgrade anyways to 3090 but I’d be happy with either. Let’s just not worry about that. Other than bottle necking or whatever with the CPU?

That is my current monitor? I’m not kidding as of now. You guys are just rude. Things take time to actually upgrade I’m worried about my PC first then monitor. Why would I get a monitor that my PC can’t run the resolution on? My current 1050 is ideal for that monitor so shut your face big boy

I’d say it again. My current 1050 is perfect for 1080p. I’m worried about the PC first because I’m not gonna spend money on a monitor that I can’t use to full performance if my PC can’t handle it. I do want 4K. But I’m asking for advice on PC not the monitor.

Yet no real advice on PC building just judgments on my monitor to 3080 for first start off. Lame group of people. No real help. Giving up on shitty community. Help people assholes.

You straight up mentioned getting a 3090, did you not?  Infact, you want 2 of them, for a combined total of $3000+, which literally DESTROYS your stated budget so you went off the rails right off the bat.  Pro tip:  2 GPU's means 3090's as the 3080 won't do SLI.

 

You mention the 1050 15 minutes ago, and then a couple minutes later your rage overwhelms you and you lose your shit.  Patience, sir.

 

Your assumptions and preferences don't make logical sense.  I mentioned the RAM issue, but also "Intel works better for me"?  In what way?  This is important as AMD provides a very real option and has no drawbacks that you show concern for, or that I know of.

 

Plus, you could have put together a pcpartpicker.com list for us to critique.  I am sure, if you give it a bit longer, someone will come up with one and post it.  Again, ignore those of us that you deem rude and wait for the nicer folks to help out.  

 

For starters I'd look at the 10600K + RTX3070 + 32GB 3200MHz RAM if you're staying with 1080p 144Hz.  If you want to move up to 1440p 144Hz, then I'd look at the RTX3080.

 

If you do want to give AMD even a passing glance, they have new CPUs releasing in a few weeks or so.  Worth waiting to see what they have.
