I recently got a new pc with a water cooled core i9 and 16 GB of ram.
I have no idea what graphics card to buy but I have a budget of 1000 dollars my power supply is 650 watts
and I currently have a 1050ti gigabyte GPU. ( I got this for Christmas2020)
i would appreciate it so much if somebody could help me or give me tips.

Welcome to the forum!

 

A core i9 is a pretty powerful CPU, so you're not going to have to worry about bottlenecks, but I'd recommend you upgrade your power supply to a 750W unit to support the more powerful GPU. At $1000 USD, I'd go with the Nvidia RTX 3080 or AMD Radeon 6800XT. GPU availability has been a problem recently, so you'll need to do some searching around to find one in stock. I'd recommend using a twitter or discord bot like this one to let you know when one is in stock. As for the specific model, basically anything from a reputable brand (ASUS, EVGA, MSI, Gigabyte, Zotac, Sapphire, ASRock, XFX) will do.

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)
