When stock ends... Planning a build

[Parideboy]

Budget (including currency): 1200-1500€, not strict

Country: Italy

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: working from home (the hardest workload that I can think of is setting a VM), gaming (mostly triple-A titles), possibly streaming

Other details: I'm upgrading from the build in my signature, savaging everything I can to keep the cost down. So storage, case, and PSU should be taken care of.

I'm looking to play at 1080p@144hz while having the headroom for 4K@60hz (I don't have a 4K monitor right now, I'm looking forward to buying one in the near future)

 

CPU: Maybe a 5600x? I'm a little worried about the core count tho

GPU: I was thinking of a 3070/6800, might pull out the cash to get a 6800xt. I don't care about raytracing or DLSS.

No clue about the motherboard honestly. I did some research, and this seemed good for the price. Really need feedback on this one.

I just picked the only 3070 in stock, no way I'm paying scalper prices. I just want to plan a build for when prices settle down.

sounds like a goo plan. the 5600x should be plenty

The 5600x will be enough for streaming, if you get an RTX 3070 as the GPU has NVENC. Which is probably the best way to stream without losing a lot of performance. In a lot of games you probably wont be able to tell a difference.

I don't see any big problems with this! Only problem is if you want to use wifi, but I doubt you are.

Thanks for the feedback!

I was wondering if this board needed any bios update to support the 5000 series cpus, in the site MSI reports the 5000 series as N/A, while other cpus have bios revisions.
