Building a Gaming Rig

[jace9085]

Budget (including currency): ~$1500

Country: USA

 

I'm going for a white pc with rgb. 
I think I need an RGB header but haven't really looked into it yet.

 

PC build so far
CPU: Intel Core i5-11600KF
CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO or Vetroo V5
GPU: 3060ti/3070 (if/when I can find one)
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B560-A GAMING WIFI
RAM: VENGEANCE® RGB PRO 16GB(2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16
PSU: RMx White Series™ RM850x 850 Watt 80 PLUS® Gold Certified Fully Modular PSU
Storage: Using old SSD and HHD. Will eventually buy m.2 SSD

 

Case: Corsair 5000D
Fans: Corsair iCUE QL120 RGB or Lian Li UNI Fan SL120 or EZDIY-FAB (6pack) (May change)

Case has 6port fan hub and 2 fans included will buy a 3pack of the corsair or lian li fans to start with.

Any changes or recommendations?

I would likely bit go for an F cpu variant if you are planning on getting a gpu later as then you wouldn't have a functional pc until you got the graphics card.

I have my current computer to use or I can switch my 1050ti in until I buy the card.

Reused a pcpartpicker i had randomly laying around, aaand this demolishes your build in performance xD

 

10900f 10core cpu, set it to 4.6-4.8ghz 1.2v or less in the bios for efficiency, or just balls to the walls and lock it at max boost clock on all cores xD

 

Decent z490, vrms shouldnt catch fire powering the 10900f even if oced, heck if 5.2ghz isnt enough, you can raise the baseclock to 103 or 104 to get 5.35 or 5.4ghz but the cooler would be overwhelmed by then xD

 

Cheap case with great airflow

 

For everything else Chose cheap but decent options

 

Asthetics have been yeeted out the window so theres more budget for a gpu, this build is a performance >>> looks build, you can have your rgb be as bright as the sun but it aint gonna do shit to improve your performance

 

Sorry but at this budget its either performance or looks, youll have to sacrifice gpu or cpu performance if you want asthetics or go overbudget
