This is the PC that I plan to build for gaming and recording. I came up with this list but want some feedback. As long as the budget stays somewhat near what I have right now, I’m fine. Do not worry about peripherals. Thanks!

Like the look of the build, the only change I would make is to 3600 speed memory if you can get it, also can you currently access the CPU and GPU or is this a future build.

I swapped out the AIO for the stock cooler because that AIO won't perform well. I also swapped out the motherboard, and the RAM is now 3600MHZ. I then went for an RMX 650 because 850W is very overkill. I then removed the fans you added, and with the money you saved I put in a 3070

Cheaper and better

 

Changes:

The 120mm aio is well sorry for my language but it's shit. The hyper 212 is a fair bit better than it.

Changed the ssd to a cheaper one saving you money and it will not impact any performance what so ever

Made the ram faster as that will give you a little bump for a little bit more

 

Other changes you can do:

Lower wattage psu as this is super overkill

 

Questions:

 

Why the external drive? I hope it's not for game storage as it's not made for that. It's a slow 5400rpm drive.

 

 

Edit: @Downkey Did a far better job than me and even managed to get a 3070 in there.

Get a air cooler, a h212 or nh-u12s would be fine. Spend the money you saved on 3600 cl16 ram.

get the tm750x, you don’t need 850w for that system

unless you plan on doing a oc, you could spend less in the motherboard

I could use some help with this!

Those are the parts I plan to buy first lol. I heard that there might be a Best Buy drop tomorrow for the GPU and then I will drive 2 hours to get the CPU at MicroCenter.

External Drive is to save past videos. Thanks for the feedback!

Unless you want it for the looks, i would buy a Noctua NH- U9S because it is silent and very nice
