I've always been playing on laptop and i'm interested in buying my first pc. I would like to be able to play VR and AAA games with high frame rates on 1440p with it.

What are your thoughts on my build ?

Budget (including currency): 1500 - 2000€

Country: France

 

Case : Be Quiet! PURE BASE 500DX (missed a 75€ offer on it)

Power supply :  Be Quiet! STRAIGHT POWER 11 750W Gold 

motherboard : MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI (ordered for 200€ on amazon.de)

CPU : AMD Ryzen 9-5900x

GPU : AMD Radeon rx 6800xt

Watercooling : Cooler Master MASTERLIQUID ML240L V2 RGB

System ssd : Nvme 250Gb or 500Gb

Gaming ssd : Sabrent Rocket 1Tb Nvme (already bought since several month for ~130€)

RAM : ??? 16Gb 

 

Edit : Should I wait for the Black Friday to buy the CPU and GPU or buy it when they are released ?

You wont need a 5900x, and I can say that without it even being out. A lower mid tier chip will do perfectly fine (R5 5600)

 

I'd also drop that cooler and get something a like an arctic eSports DUO to go with that lower mid tier chip. Buying a cheaper end aio is never a good idea

might want to try something like this, higher end radiator and some good performance ram (AMD has recommended 4000MHz)

The PSU should be able to handle whatever you throw at it

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I haven't mentioned it but i also use my pc to code (->compile) and running VMs on it. I was first interested in the Ryzen 7-5800x but 100€ for 4 more cores is not bad...

This AIO may be cheap but the reviews i've watched looks fine

Then sure, go for it. But you'll definitely need more than 16GB of memory if you do this often.

There's no insurance with a cheap cooler. Why buy something cheap that could possibly leak and destroy your high end system?

Thanks that seems to work perfectly but a 750w power supply isn't a safer and more long term bet ?

I might upgrade it to 32Gb Q2 2021

Probably wait until Black Friday. I know that a few stores like Newegg already have some sales in early November that you could take a look at.
