First Build

[conconhowie]

Budget (including currency): $1.5K-$2k USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: GTA-5, Warzone, Big data analysis

Other details: Looking for a good all around pc build for a combination for both gaming and data analysis. Ideally would like to be able to run open-world 4k games well, and my only hard requirement is at least 32gb's+ of RAM for analysis I do at work. My Monitor runs 4K@ 60Hz, but likely will upgrade to something with a better refresh rate. I understand computers and components needed but other than that I'm pretty much a novice. Don't really want to buy a pre-built PC! 

 

All help and suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

Are your data analysis workloads Intel or AMD favoring?

AMD!

[Chris Fortune]

Not familiar with the games you mention but my start point would be

 

5900x

X570 mobo

3080

DDR4 3600 CL16

NVME boot drive

Additional drive for data handling (type dependent on your needs, fast or big)

 

PSU 750W 80 Plus Gold

Case personal choice but airflow important

Damn I thought prices were a bit better than that in the U.S., PSU is over the top for that build and if you can find a lower spec cheaper that could help. How's the price of T-Force memory in the USA, my 3600 cl16 was cheaper than the Corsair 3200 when I got mine a few months back but I am in the UK

 

Additional thoughts:

 

If work focused but a bit of gaming drop the 3080 to a 3070

 

If game focused that can do some work drop the 5900X for a 5600X 

 

maybe

Thanks both of you! What are my chances of being able to get that graphics card

Slim tbh but it is improving, managed to snag a 30 series today myself.

Haha seems like i should just get the better of each! Budget wasn't super firm. Been wanting a good one for a couple years so might as well drop the few extra hundred on the better parts. All these recommendations are saving me from buying a pre-built PC as well which would no doubt be overpriced if similarly spec'd. Just wish I could get my hands on the graphic card asap

[Chris Fortune]

The more you ask and the more you research the better understanding you will have of the balances you may need to do. The only thing I would advise above all is don't just take one view, don't stop looking at new information. Oh and have fun doing the build, the satisfaction you will get from doing it yourself easily outweighs the cost saving.
