Ryzen 7 3700x w/ NZXT Kraken X53 AIO

32GB DDR4 RAM @ 3200mhz CL16 - Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB (Need 32GB for other applications.)

Nvidia RTX 3060ti Founders Edition

1TB Western Digital Black M.2 NVME

1TB Samsung EVO SSD 2.5"

NZXT C-Series 750W - 80 Plus Gold

AsRock B450m Steel Legend - Micro ATX

 

This will be my first official build and I couldn't be any more excited! What performance tier would this PC Build be: Lower, Mid, Mid-High, High?

*I Plan to upgrade the board to a B550 and Ryzen 5800x CPU later on. Games I want to play are Call of Duty, Battlefield, APEX, EA Sports Titles, Halo, F1, Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V, NBA 2K21 etc.

It all depends on the games you're trying to run at 1440p and the FPS you want to achieve. Flight Sim 2020 or Cyberpunk at 1440p on ultra settings @ 144 fps? Probably not. But for most normal non PC-killer games, that spec should be more than enough for 1080/1440p high/ultra settings and get great framerates.

The 3700 will run on a B550. No need to buy a board now just to upgrade off it.

Also, you didn't list your case. Did you mean to go with full ATX psu and an MATX mobo?

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

I do not have my hopes high for cyberpunk as even the latest 30 Series RTX cards are struggling 😂 the game itself is clearly not well optimized. Heard its a bigger nightmare on consoles too.

This will be my first official build and I couldn't be any more excited! Definitely surprised at how quickly things got expensive lol, before I knew it I was $1,000+ in.  What performance tier would this PC Build be: Lower, Mid, Mid-High, High?

*I Plan to upgrade the board to a B550 and Ryzen 5800x CPU later on.

Probably enough for most titles, but not Cyberpunk(lol)

 

But how are you going to grab a 3060 Ti, I got one the other day from BestBuy and it took a couple of weeks of waiting and F5-ing. I wish you luck though!

I got lucky and found one from a friend for only $120 mark up ($520), founders edition too. I figured it was worth it since I almost settled for a RX 5700xt.

Good find! $520 is still more than a MSRP 3070, but congrats!

I know! But realistically a 3070 will be nearly impossible to find and if I did it's for nearly $1000! Heard the 3060ti is really good and pretty much on par with the 3070 and 2070/2080 super.

Yeah the 3060 Ti is just amazing. But anyway, that build will be great for almost all games. Have fun!

You can keep your current CPU dude. There is literally no need at all to upgrade your CPU if your GPU is the 3060 Ti. You would literally not see a difference if you got the 5800X. You need to understand that the most important item in your PC is the GPU. Everything else has to match the GPU. The 3700X is already a good CPU for the 3060 Ti so there is zero need for you to upgrade. Hold on to your money in case you need to upgrade in the future instead even if you are hyped for the "new fancy CPUs". This is for gaming obviously. If you actually have a need for the upgraded CPU cause of work it is up to you.

There are benchmarks so you can just look at those. It will run most games on max with decent FPS at 1440p.
