my first build

[gewoon_herman]

Budget (including currency): around the 2500 euro

Country: Netherlands

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: i play most minecraft, ark, fs19 and ats. i also like making mods with the giants editor, ark dev kit and worldpainter.

Other details i use now a laptop with a i7-8750h, and a 1050 mobile. i already have a monitor, mouse and keyboard, the monitor is a msi optix mag 341CQ. i like to play at 1440p and at 60/100 fps. 

what do you think about this build?

know about the bios problem that is the eror partpicker gives, but the motherboard has a option to update the bios with a usb.

I'm not sure what the reqs are for modding as I don't do that myself, but you might be overbuying on the CPU and RAM. Just depends. You don't need more than 6-8 cores or more than 16GB of RAM for gaming, but maybe for the modding you do. It's fine either way though.

 

I can't see any point to the PCIe 4.0 storage for anything you do, so you can save some bucks by getting something like an SN750 I stead (PCIe 3.0). You won't be able to notice a difference.

 

The 6700XT is a pretty bad value, but in this market any card is better than no card. If you have the option grab a 6800 or a 3060 Ti. Otherwise, don't worry about it. It's not a bad card per se, it's just there's much better options for the same or close to the same price if you can get them at retail. Like I said, though, the current state of things tends to turn that on its head, though.

modding can be cpu intensive. for example making a big map (what i like to do) is cpu intensive and can take up a lot of ram.

 

i can only find 3060ti for a round the 1500 euro in my country. that is kind of to much for my budget.

Groeten!!

 

Herman, I can very comfortably confirm that you would be MASSIVELY overspending on that CPU for any gaming....

 

A B550 motherboard with a 5800X would be moderate overkill.

 

IF you can get a 6700XT close to MSRP, then it's a decent little card and should be fine for Minecraft Bedrock at 100FPS and render distance ~72chunks.... that's what my 1660 Super gets now....

 

I didn't recognise all the games/apps you'd be running - I assume "FS" = FlightSim? If so, see the attached screen grab, it would seem a 5800X is the sweet spot.

Also - try to get DDR4 3600Mhz CL16 memory - as I understand it, the 5000series Ryzen's prefer

 3600Mhz.

like said to chris modding/making big maps is CPU intensive that is why i choose to spent a lot of money on it

plus for ark to play at high settings you need a good video cart
