Help with part recommendations

[SaucyDough]

Budget (including currency): 1,000 USD

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: light-moderate gaming, will also be used as an everyday computer

Other details I threw together a pcpartpicker list in hopes of upgrading from a pc that was strictly a work computer. Some price(s) manually set because I will be hopefully buying within 2 months, seeing recent trends with the GPU market. Aiming to game at 1080p 144hz, or 60fps 1440p. Monitor not included in budget. (Video card price increased by ~25% from MSRP, will hopefully reach that before year's end)

OS will be windows, no need for peripherals.

 

1-2 monitors

That board is kinda rubbish but ok for 3600 unless you oc it

 

For 3$ extra you can get 3200mhz ram instead (sort low to high)

 

The psu is eh, maybe swap for a 700w neoeco gold

 

Well atleast you didnt waste your money on useless garbage so 8/10

Why would the board i chose be worse?

The ds3h has a 5+3vrm

And the board i chose seems to have a 7 phase vrm? I was just telling by the picture

The MSI board is more like a 4+2. Also no heatsinks on the VRM. It just isn't a good board for anything more than a 4 core/APU. 

 

The Hardware Luxx link in the reddit link below has a decent list of VRM's for a lot of AM4 boards.

Thanks for the help!

And the parts increased in prices overnight, but only very marginally, so it doesn't matter too much

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn more about motherboards?

 

Thanks
