I need to help in buying my first gaming PC

[K1ro3]

Budget: 2k$ 

Country: Balkans 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Cs:go, Call of duty series,

heavy coding etc.

 

I AM GOING TO BUY THIS PC AS A PREBUILT OFF OF iBuyPower

 

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): I am going to buy it in several months, I am planning to play all of my games at lower resolutions such as 4:3 (1080x800/800x600) so mostly above 280 Frames per second

 

I really need to know are these parts compatible, do I need to change, add, remove something

Then consider it like this:

 

All said and done its extra 175$ (1975$), but itll be a more balanced PC overall. But considering you are shopping at iBP, Ryzen 5000 series should be in your bracket too without stock constrains.

 

 

This config is 1925$, and should deliver even more perf. You can get back the 120mm AIO that it defaulted to if you want, but the spire is a very capable stock cooler. And you have more choice outside of iBP, cooling wise, so i would go stock and take the savings into buying a better cooler on your own.

for the first one, why would I have a 500GB + 2T main memory and no secondary?

And why would I degrade from a i7 to a i5?
