image.png.28f09f9881d6229e413850dd1d5fbb2a.png 

 

Budget (including currency):  1200 MAX, USD $

 

 

Country: New York, U.S

 

 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Adobe Photoshop/Premiere, Light GTAV Use, Light Blender Use.

 

 

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 bought a Radeon 5700XT from best buy in December (somehow) so that is not included in the budget, nor. needed.

I also dont need a monitor or any other peripherals.

Consider the 5600X or 11600k, but good job overall.

Big nerd.

Better processor, more storage, and a less overkill PSU. My change from this build would be to discard the Aer RGB fan for the exhaust, move 1 fan from the P500A included 3 fans at the front to the back for exhaust, and get bigger non modular PSU.

Dang, $20 over my original with tons more storage, and a better processor..... seems like witchcraft. thanks for the input... might have to rework some of this for sure. 😅

Close to what I'd do, but not exact.

The more I think about it... I guess I'm not totally against Performance > RGB. And the room for upgrades is always nice. 🤔
