First PC build

[sanesen]

My old PC is getting a bit slow and I am looking to build a new one.

This is my first time building a PC so I am looking for some help picking the right parts.

 

Budget (including currency): Around 12.000 DKK (1500-2000 USD).

Country: Denmark

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Ghost recon, CSGO, FH4, GTA and games like that. For school I will use photoshop, lightroom and premiere pro

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 received an offer from a company which would cost me 12.000 DKK (approx. 1900 USD):

 

Asus TUF Z390-Plus Gaming

Core i7 9700K 3

G. Skill DDR4 16Gb PC3200

512 GB SSD

Antec PSU Gold EC 850W

RTX 3070

 

Case suggestions are welcome:)

I am planning on buying a new monitor and use my old one as secondary.

 

Thanks in advance for any help:)

Well done on the graphics card.

The rest looks solid enough, depending on what resolution/refresh rate you're going to play at.

the problem is that you can't buy a gpu due to the shrotage so if you have a gpu already, stick with that, otherwise you might wanna stay with Intergrated Graphics until you can get a gpu or just wait altogether, what do you think?

Ahh... I thought you had the 3070 "in hand" as we say in the UK.

None of the retailers listed on https://dk.pcpartpicker.com are listing either the 9700K or the TUF Z390-Plus Gaming, so it sounds like this machine is being put together from 'spare parts'.

That said, odd that they "just happen to have" a 3070... but not any other newer kit.

 

My recommendation...?  "Buyer beware"

 

EDIT:

If that's how the quotation was worded, there's too few exact details to be confident; ask them for guaranteed make and model on ALL parts, if they can't do that - walk away.

op what is the price of the rtx 3070 in here?
I recommend you avoid, especially for founders edition to buy it at least way above msrp.

this is a Intergrated Gpu build until you get a graphics card, if you are getting the 3070 at a good price let me know so i can make necessary changes.

i’d change the cpu to something with hyper threading, because that cpu has the same amount of threads as an i3. it would help performance significantly if you got something with at least 12 threads like an 11600k.

Yeah, i'm aware of the shortage and I think i'm going to wait until they become available again. My current GPU is a 970, so it would be nice with an upgrade;)

I don't have opportunity to buy a 3070 at this moment, but I think I am going to wait until they become available again.

So i don't think I am going to use your build, but thanks anyway:)

 

If you have a suggestion for a build with the 3070 though, i would appreciate it very much:)
