Best pc for $1000?

[CashTheOriginal]

Hello! I need serious people to help with me out here. I no nothing about PC's so I need some assistance.

Budget: $1,075 USD (For PC alone)
Country: United States of America

Games I want to run: Rainbow 6 Siege, Dead by Daylight, Fortnite, Minecraft (Will also be editing and rendering videos)

 

Give me a PC part picker list with the best I can for my budget. I want good frame rates and good graphics. No overpriced parts. I don't care about looks that much, so if it is not necessary cut it out but I would like to have just a bit of RGB. I already have my peripherals, but I would like to know a good 144hz monitor I can buy for under $200. Thanks!

will you be recoding on it ? because it users  a lot of ram

the case and PSU are quite terrible, and that's a really vast amount of storage and ram, much more than is needed. You could get a current gen CPU instead, since OP specified 144Hz gaming. Also a newer motherboard to accept 5th gen CPUs once they come out.

@CashTheOriginal you might want a Ryzen 5 5600X when it comes out, for an additional $100 it's quite the performance boost. You could also save some money if you like, with this case

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vYp323/cougar-mx330-atx-mid-tower-case-mx330

I've built in it a lot and it's very economical, with lots of space and good airflow.

 

as for monitors, compare on pcpartpicker as you like:

I wouldn't reccomend purchasing a components for a PC currently. New components that will match your budget are coming out very soon, Like the RTX 3070, Perhaps the 3070 super, and RDNA 2 equivalents, not to mention AMD is coming out with new CPUs. I'd reccomend waiting T'll Q1-Q2 2021 (January-late spring-ish)  to buy. here's a rough list (Some of the components I'm not sure about, some should be switched out when new ones come):

Fair enough, but you could always go for a MB311L, since the mobo is Matx, or the Lancool 215, and it'd be cheaper than the Meshify-c, Or the p400a digital or...or... lol, and the storage isn't the greatest, so I beileve I'd go for something like an mx500.

Mate, Just- Pl- What's going on here? Why are you spending so much on storage? Why the 2700x? Why a $26 case and a $40 PSU?

EWWWWWW NOOOOOO!!!! NOOOOO!!!!! A ALMOST 2GEN OLD CPU AND A D3SH  IN A 1K BUILD?!?!?!??!?!

[dizmo]

LoL welcome to the forum @bitpoke, where one wrong build suggestion will have you constantly called out even though everyone can clearly see you've already been corrected not once, not twice but probably 5 or 6 times already

 

@CashTheOriginal The build @Fasauceome came up with is probably one of the best you can do now (though, just because they moved up to numbering it as the 5000 series, doesn't mean it's 5th gen You don't magically skip the 4th iteration), I'd really wait until Black Friday. It's just around the corner, and you'll be able to fit some better parts in there for the same budget. I also recommend buying a used GPU, like a 1070, 580 etc, and grabbing one of the upcoming new GPUs when they come out. Alternatively, you could off all together like @Brok3n But who cares? suggested, if you have something you're currently using.

[bitpoke]

the reason i went with a 2700x ryen 9 is because it was good price for a 8 core and 16 thread and it is good for fortnite needs the cors it is the same price as a ryzen 3 current gen.

fn doesnt need cores. it likes single. the 3000 cpus have a much better single, and a r5 3600 (which costs like 14$ less) will trounce it. If a lst gen PCU is the same price as current gen, you dont get the last gen lol. and if a 5600x is commig out, at 19% better core for core, you should get that.

[bitpoke]

in my expenses fn needs cores

4700G and the like, OEM only (as of now) but still a generation

Those are based on 3rd gen tech.

Yeah but the 3200G is third gen right? And the 2200G is second gen?

 

But if it's based on the architecture, is the 3000G a first gen part?

 

Since AMD doesn't use the word "generation" in an official capacity the rules are pretty fast and loose. I use the first number because the BIOS compatibility is also decided by that (with the exception of 3rd gen APUs on B550 and A520 motherboards) but the "X000 series" name is a more apt description if it's important to differentiate

1. the 2700x is a ryzen 7 lol. the 2700x is the same price as a ryzen 5 3600, and I would't compare by doing that. An i7-2700k get's it's ass kicked by a ryzen 5 5600x, even though tehnically it's a i7 vs a i5 (equivilent). This is just a basic breakdown, but I assume you're new. Please, Take some time, Get into the community, and learn how components work with eachother, and all that.

Technically no. They never had a 1200G, I don't think.

It's just their numbering system is completely illogical.

 

A generation would be an iteration of the Ryzen processor. Therefore, the 4000 series is the third generation (2200 first, 3200 second, etc). It's also based on the third generation Ryzen architecture.

Good build, but you could save some money on the ram, and spend it on the case, and how come a 2060S? Isn't it one of the worst value cards out there? I mean used 1080ti's, used 2080/2070 supers, 5700xt, Ampere, and RDNA2 are all there to compete with it

I don't think I've ever heard someone call a 2200G a first gen Ryzen cpu to be honest

His PC building business thread was quite the read.
