First gaming PC build

Posted

Budget (including currency): 1200-1500€

Country: Switzerland (will buy most of my parts from Germany)

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming only

Other details: want to be able to game in 1440p 144Hz, need bluetooth and wifi

 

I've never build a PC before so I pretty much had no idea about almost anything.

Because I am really interested and don't just want to blindly go into this without any knowledge I checked a few threads here and did some research and I built something together in pcpartpicker.

 

I am very open to suggestions and changes to my build.

Monitor: I would also need a new monitor, but didn't have time to research that (price of monitor not included in budget for PC).

 

I know some parts are very hard to get or extremely expensive at the moment. I am in no rush whatsoever and can wait until they are back in stock

 

Thank you very much! :)

Also consider this case:

You can save on the case and the fans, and it'll fit better with the mATX motherbaord. Still good airflow.

CPU cooler: Could I get away with stock cooler on the CPU? I won't be overclocking, so would be great to save some €.

 

Motherboard: Want to have wifi & bluetooth. Is this one good? MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard

 

RAM: Is almost 50% higher price to go from 3200 to 3600 worth it?

 

Power supply: 30% higher price for 50W more and gold instead of bronze worth it?

 

Nice find on the SSD (won't need a hard drive as 500GB SSD is enough) and the cheaper case, thanks!

Yup, the stock cooler is fine. You can always upgrade it later if you want.

Maybe this one, it has wifi 6:

Forgot to switch to Germany. The one you picked looks okay.

There is a small benefit. 3200Mhz will get you 98% of the performance and the kit you picked looks good.
