Budget (including currency): 550 USD

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft, Valorant, Youtube, School, Recording Minecraft at 120fps, premiere pro 2020

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 currently own a 144hz monitor but i might go down to 60 depending on what you guys have to say. i want to be getting at least 300fps while recording at 120fps on minecraft.

Alright I'm gonna say right now that even though it's Minecraft we're talking about you're setting the bar a little bit too high, but give me a sec, I'll try to come up with something.

I don't think that with that particular budget that you're going to achieve to what you would like. What do you currently have?

Don't, it's better to go with an integrated GPU for now and buy the graphics card later

You'd honestly be better off getting a CPU with integrated graphics and running off that until you can find a GPU

I mostly speak from my own past experience from similar problems. My solution may not work for you, but I'll always try my best to help as much as I can. If you want me to see your reply, make sure to quote my comment or mention me @WaggishOhio383, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

You do it time and time again. Honestly this is about as close as it is going to get.

Here, this is the best I could come up with

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/v8qJ4d

 

As you see it has no GPU in it, but the CPU is capable of doing editing pretty quickly and has a iGPU in it, meaning that for now you can at the very least use it and play some light games. I also threw in a high capacity hard drive, because for recordings you're gonna need that

also, i don't really think this is the way to go considering that ryzen 3 3200g is much cheaper and has integrated gpu that is better

yeah, i'm not going to live with myself if you keep that. I would advise against using a bomb in your system.

Why the 4TB drive, does OP really need that....

drop it too a 1TB (or no HDD at all!) and then get a better case.

OP said he/she wanted to record at 120 fps, that's gonna take a lot of space.

I've recorded over 50 240FPS videos in Minecraft and it didn't use more than 500GB. You don't need a 4TB drive.

No, you're gonna have to wait until you can get a proper GPU for a proper price

well i don't see that ever happening because the reason prices are going up so much are because people are gpu mining and i don't see a reason for that ever stopping
