family gaming/school/office work pc

[bigbrando321]

Budget (including currency): $2800 USD (budget is without the monitor)

Country: United States 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Call of Duty, Escape From Tarkov, basic Microsoft programs, multiple browsers open and video streaming

Other details: i am looking at getting the ASUS TUF Gaming 27" 2k HDR WQHD (2560 x 1440), 165hz, 1ms monitor to pair it with this PC and i also do not need any other peripherals. I'm not upgrading from any parts just simply building a new PC. i am looking to buy at the beginning of May and i would like to be able to play at 1440p with a 165hz refresh rate. also with the parts i have listed i don't know if ill be able to control all of the RGB with one unit.(if anybody knows please leave a comment). i am wanting to make sure I'm getting the best for what i can, also the theme is white so thats been a bit of a problem coming up with parts.

This is a real powerful build, a bit too powerful for what you want to do, but if you have the money then.. do it, My only concern is the power supply, the Ryzen 9 and 3080 are pretty power hungry and you might want something above 700 watts but i don't think the 650 will explode on you. Also unless you already have a place to buy the 3080 at MSRP or you already have one, then it will be extremely hard to find one under $1500

If you are looking more for aesthetics to sacrifice a little capabilities, replacing the B550 VISION D motherboard for a N7 B550 will look much better instead and be way cheaper, which by the way the money you could save on the mobo is gonna get you a better PSU for no stability issues with that RTX 3080 (if you can find one, lol), don't take my advise too seriously tho as i'm kinda new to the hardwere scene but overall a monster build worth the money that could easily last some years

It would be helpful if thee permalink was posted. Better yet, use the BB button on the build list toolbar for a nicely for!after list that can be pasted into a post.

 

Nvidia recommends a 750W psu with the RTX 3080. Supply may be problematic but I'd suggest a Corsair RMX White 750W or 850W.

Yeh With a 3080 I would want to have a 750W+ just to be sure on the power spikes.

I personally would recommend 850 watts, but ideally 1000w, though you don’t have to do that.
