PC First Builder 1500 Budget

[Nickel996]

Budget (including currency): 1500 USD

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Cyberpunk, COD, MC, productivity

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): 

~144Hz

~1080p 

~want high settings

 

Does anyone have a build for this price that I can run games on high settings for many years to come or should I bump my budget up?

Ive got a $1500 build on My pc guide you can check it out and see if you like it

10600k, 10700k, 5600x for cpu options.  

3060ti, 3070, 6800 (non-xt).  for gpu

All of the above will fit you budget and needs, finding them at MSRP (if at all) is the hard part.  If you do go with a 6800, pairing it with a ryzen cpu will also allow you to use it's smart access memory, which can give ~5% fps in a lot of games.

Which ones you can actually get your hands on will decide what's left in your budget, and thus the rest of the build.  Rough times.
