Question about building my PC

Budget (including currency): ~£1000

Country: Scotland (UK)

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft, Modern Warfare (2019)/BOCW. Pretty much a wide variety of games, most of which with ray tracing.

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 going to eventually upgrade to a 120 Hz Monitor 1440p. My peripherals are fine and do not need replaced. I am planning on building my PC once Zen 3 AMD Chipsets are back in stock and once FE 3070 are back in stock.

Hi so I am building my first PC and I wanted to ask if anyone with experience could check over it as I am very nervous about messing it up. I appreciate it.

please do not plug that psu in with that gpu. cut down on your GPU budget or something else and get a better PSU. your computer not giving out blue smoke is more important than high fps.

Do recommend changing out the cooler, stock downdrafts are no match to proper 120mm fan towers. Dont need to get a big one though or go liquid because the heat output isnt high.

Changed memory, 3600MHz isnt that expensive anymore. Did sacrifice RGB to keep price in check however.

Changed SSD, performance and durability stays the same.

Changed PSU for a better one.

 

Btw I do assume you have case fans that can be reused.

Thank you. Is WD better than Samsung. I was gonna get a Samsung One cause their software is good and I have always gone with Samsung. Is WD better?

Software for SSD is pretty unnecessary. The only thing Samsung Magician does that there are hardly better alternatives is ram caching (using RAM as cache of the SSD) and that's not so useful in reality, only good for bragging with benchmarks.

 

Sn750 here is equal to the 970 Evo Plus.
