Hello everyone! So, Im about to build my first ever gaming pc. Have never built a pc before but I was doing research here and a while to make sure I pick good parts for what I want. Below is the list:

 

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600X (190$)

CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34 DUO (40$)

MOBO: B550 MSI Gaming Plus (127$)

RAM: G.Skill TridentZ 16GB (2x8GB) 3600 (85$)

GPU: RX 6800 Gigabyte gaming OC (950$)

Storage: 1. Seagate Barracuda HDD 2TB 7200RPM (55$)

                2. Adata xpg gammix s11 pro 512GB m.2 nvme (60$)

PSU: Corsair RM 850W 80+ Gold (120$)

Case: Fractal Design Meshify C Dark TG (100$)

Fans: 3x Corsair LL120 (91$)

 

Extras:

Monitor: Gigabyte G27QC 27" 1440p 165hz (300$)

Mouse:  Corsair M65 RGB PRO (55$)

Headphones: Corsair Void rgb elite(63$)

Keyboard: Redragon rgb yama (70$)

Speakers: Logitech Z333 (52$)

Total Price: 2,358$

So first of all, as you can see, I started from scratch. Had zero components to use so I just bought everything. I have been waiting for a while so I managed to wait on the components I wanted and try and find the best deals for them, thats why some prices seem low. Except the GPU. I was unlucky there. Been waiting for it since 2018 when basically that ''gpu crisis'' started because of the miners and prices got inflated. Now it happened again and I was like **** it. I just want to buy it and be done with it so I can finally build the pc. Keep in mind I care about looks. Also, I know 850 PSU is a bit too much for this system, but I got an amazing deal on that PSU so I decided to just buy it.

Games I will be playing: Games like Far Cry 5/Primal, Battlefield V, Valheim, Heavily modded Skyrim, Witcher 3, Apex, Assassin's Creed Valhalla etc. I am NOT planning on doing any streaming. 

At first I thought that the CPU will bottleneck my GPU, but I will be playing on 1440p so people told me I wont have an issue with it. Please, be as brutal as you want to be lol.

If you think I could have spent money on better/cheaper components please let me know. I will appreciate any tips.

 

Thank you!

by the way you can probably cut down on the power supply, 750w is enough

Yup I know mate. I mentioned in the post that 850w is overkill but I got a really good deal on that psu so decided to go with it. Have some extra upgradeability space for any future upgrades too. Also, I have something special for Corsair products haha
