Need Help for First PC Build

[Josh07]

1. Budget & Location

My budget is $1,500 AUD, can go a little over budget, but no more than $1800 AUD.

2. Aim

The system would be used for gaming, these games would be: Minecraft, Scrap mechanic, Warframe and Trailmakers.

3. Monitors

I am using a 1440p monitor (LG 27GL83A 27" QHD 144Hz IPS 1ms Gaming Monitor), I am not thinking of using another monitor.

4. Peripherals

I don't need a keyboard, mouse, mic, headset or monitor as I already have them, I just need a Windows OS 

5. Why are you upgrading?

I am upgrading from a Xbox One S, as I then have the ability to play the games I wish to play, other than being restricted to console games.

i could help...

what do you want?

[Josh07]

I want a good running tower for 1440p gaming, with a budget of $1500-#1800 AUD 

 

[Flicks]

Ok give me 10 minute ...

 

Ok so this is only $1000 but you could either use the extra 500 to upgrade to the rtx 3080 but you might have to use it on the current gpu bc the prices are crazy high, but you can decide.

You could either get a Ryzen 7 5800x or you could get more storage. I would go with the cpu.

[Josh07]

ok I will go with a better CPU please, and does the ram I changed suitable for this build?

And also what is the fans in the custom section for?

 

[Flicks]

Oh, sorry the fans where for the all white athletic. They should be taken out or change. The ram is still good with the updated cpu. I will make those changes now.

If you wanted to spend $50 more we could swap the 3070 for a 3080 FE and change the CPU to the original one, but trying to get a 3080 FE is really hard and you will have to wait a long time for it.

Yes, you will need to update the bio on the motherboard to have it work with that CPU

I have to wait a long time for it as I am about 1/4 of the way to the price, so I may as well if it increases the performance.
