First PC Build Help

[ItYaBoi]

Budget (including currency): I would like to keep it under $3000 USD

Country: America

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Medium/Heavy Gaming, including VR, streaming, photoshop, and schoolwork/Zoom

Other details: The parts with an overridden price are ones that don't show up on PCPP or I have already bought. Once I can get my hand on a GPU, then I will be purchasing the rest of the parts.

 

This is going to be my first ever pc build, and I think I've done plenty of research for a good build, but I need a second opinion. This list was made in PC part picker. All prices are in USD.

And how are you going to get that gpu? This build is pretty pointless without having the gpu first.

 

Either way for a build this price it's pretty darn bad.

 

Major overspending on cosmetics and major underspending on actual useful hardware like the cpu.

This is why I said I'm not buying ant of the parts until I get the GPU

Please provide me with some changes for this build if it is bad.

Multitasking, streaming (as mentioned above), and just general ease of access.

11400F is faster than 3600.in all workload, while also being cheaper

B560 board cost generally same as B550

Intel CPUs help cut cost at the cost of upgradability (the i7 and i9 arent really worth it and are not monsters like 5900x or 5950x), board selection are also limited and expensive because it's so new. If you dont like this you could get the CPU and mobo you had in the list.

 

Choose one memory kit out of the three. I prefer the 32GB but maybe you're good with 16GB idk. OLOy is cheaper, Crucial is better for overclocking.

 

Ditched Samsung SSD, even if they always charge a premium on their stuff $150 is the max I'll pay for one, not $250.

 

Odd to have two high end monitors. For ultrawide gaming you'd want 3 monitors so the center of all displays isnt in one of the borders. If it's a primary monitor and secondary monitor(s) setup you can get a worse and cheaper secondary display to save money
