Budget (including currency): 1000 USD

Country: U.S.A.

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Baldur's Gate 3, Fallout 4, Divinity Original Sins 2, Visual Studio, IntelliJ, PyCharm etc.

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 am buying this case for my fiancee. She is a software engineer and having a terrible time to work with her laptop. She cannot play any game on it so multiplayer is also a distant dream for us. I have gtx1080 SLI on my pc so I want to use one of them for her. We also have a spare ultrawide monitor and other peripherals like keyboard, mouse and headsets are also ready. So I just want to buy a pc without GPU and my budget is $1000. I can wait for rocket lake but I am not sure if I should. Otherwise I would like to buy in a month or two (if there would not be any advantage in waiting I want to buy asap).

 

So I am looking for both your advices and pc builds. Amazon links to products are very much appreciated. Thank you all in advace.

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 :)

This is good considering you have a 1080 already. Only suggestion is that you buy a 144hz monitor if your playing esports titles

Thank you guys. I was able to buy the 5600x this morning and I am going to buy the rest of the parts from micro center store

great build but u don't need a 360mil aio, u would be fine with a nh-u12s

You are right. I will buy a cheap (I mean cheaper than an AIO) air cooler from Black Friday sales. I don't think we will need water cooling until I upgrade the cpu either, I think the case is suitable for air cooling. I will keep my eyes on the temps though.

The monitor was already around I didn't buy a new one. We are not much into high reaction time kind of games so I don't think that will be an issue for us. Still, thank you for your advice, appreciate it.
