Planning build

[Jose cardona]

Budget (including currency): 1500

Country: U.S.

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Call of duty Cold war, and general use for school, editing.

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): 

 

 

 

these are the components i picked, do i change something?

also i don't know what the notes on the bottom mean

Would you happen to have a microcenter near you or not

[Jose cardona]

I would go for a 10700 (non-k and non-f) since your motherboard cant overclock anyway and you need integrated graphics

If you want to keep the 10700k here is a pcpartpicker list with the 10700k and a motherboard that lets you overclock with it. You get the motherboard discount if you add both the Motherboard and the cpu in your microcenter cart at the same time. The RAM is still rgb and i also changed from a 1tb hard drive to a 2tb one since it was only 10 dollars more.

Drop the cooler and get a better air cooler. That AIO is not very good
Get a case with better airflow. That case has pretty bad airflow and the thermals will be very mediocre.
-Change the Power supply, That unit is low end.

Exactly the psu must be at 850 atleast

yes that seems fair

[thepoorgamer]

You might want an 11600 because it has a better IGPU. If you have a way to get the 2070 super, then it doesn't matter.

What? No. Honestly 550W would be enough. I'm stating that the unit itself (The EVGA BQ) is a very low end PSU. I would recommend a higher end one for a 2070 Super.

Where are you getting 850W from? That is so overkill, literally almost double the actual wattage OP needs.

I saw the 2070 that's why I said 850watts

Do you have any recommendations for PSU?

A 2070 isnt that power hungry, a 550 - 600W PSU will be more than good enough (If its a good unit)

How much are you willing to spend on the PSU?

This list should fix the issues with a better airflow case, better cpu cooler and a better power supply that is also modular. This should be good but feel free to correct anything.

Other (much better) PSUS exist for the same price ;/, why a CXF?

Provided you're willing to wait/camp for an rtx card (and you don't have any of your previous components), this is probably what I'd recommend:

- CPU switched to a 5600x, overall just a better gaming CPU, doesn't require an external cooler since it ships with one. Might lag behind the 10700 when video editing, you might want to go with the 10700 if you care about that.

-Motherboard is Matx, comes with wifi. It's a great value for what It's worth

-Ram, standard 16gb, 2x8 sticks at 3600mhz cl16. Unless you really like multitasking or video editing, this should be fine

-Nvme is budget, not a bad drive however. There's better out there, but this is one of the best value drives.

-Rtx 3080 FE. Nuff' said.

-Phanteks p360a, an ATX case so it might look a little empty with that motherboard, but It's rgb, has a good feature set, and It looks nice.

-The Enermax revolution D.F 850w is a great psu all-around, comes with some nice features. A little over your budget, it's worth it though.

Meh, they might've been parroting, the 650w cxf was on sale on newegg for $65 a few days back, which is an insane deal, I know a lot of people who used it in budget PCPP lists.
