Budget (including currency): $700 - $800 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Apex Legends. Streaming maybe.

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): 

As long as I can play in 1080p with at least 60 FPS I'm happy! I was given the GPU and PSU from some co-workers. I'll just deal with the old card till I can find a good price on a more recent one. 

Do you think it'll get the job done?

GPU is big OOF, but, why do you need a 850 Watt Power Supply when you're probably only using max 450 Watts? Do you just have it because in the future your gonna upgrade? Oh wait your co workers gave it to you. Jesus I'm dumb. I think you might play at 1080p 60 fps. 6 cores is just enough to hold up for your stream. GL

Current Setup: PC

Hello,

 

Everything looks ok, except for the one glaring part that has been brought up. The Gammaxx 400s is an affordable cooling option that should handle the 11400. The PSU wattage will leave you with enough room for some upgrades; as the higher 3000 series GPUs recommend around 750w minimum. It might be awhile before the recent GPUs can be found for anywhere close to MSRP. I've been in the market for an Asus Strix 3090 since they were launched, and still haven't been able to find one for less than the insane scalper prices.
