Heavy Gaming/Recording/Video Editing

[NotOnurBuilderYT]

Budget (including currency):  1300$-1500$ US

Country:  USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Heavy Gaming/Recording/Video Editing

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 am planning to buy it in a month, For peripherals I need a keyboard and a monitor (I would like 165hz or 240hz and 1920x1080)

 

Reason I am buying a new pc is that I currently have the ASUS TUF GAMING FX504 SERIES which is a "gaming" laptop which overheats gpu (1050ti) is 75 at idle and 85 when playing valorant on 1080p medium settings and the ram is bottleknecking at 8gb 2667 mhz.

It is missing a cpu cooler and I really don't know much about pc parts so there might be better alternatives on what I should select.

Just looking at the sellers, is Adorama reputable? (for the unusually well priced 3060)

Odorama is just a reseller of pc parts you can buy it from newegg for 4$ more

When Newegg doesn't have any stock and it's more like $870 on Amazon who does have stock. Their reviews on the card don't seem to make much sense, looks like bots. I mean if it is legit and you can just get it, great, but it looks a bit dodgy to me.

Maybe go for an ATX board instead? I personally feel that a micro ATX board looks a bit small in an ATX case, but that's more of a personal opinion. And maybe getting a SSD with a dram cache will be worth it for drive longevity and speed. Although this is more important for a boot drive, as it does many reads and writes as you use it. 

 

Some DRAM NVME Options:

Kingston KC2000

ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro

Western Digital SN750

Samsung 970 Evo Plus - although this one is pricey

B550a pro, an actually decent atx board is an extra 35$

 

And yea i feel the same way but i care more about expandability with the extra pcie slots rather than looks alone, then again you can just adapt an unused m.2 slot to pcie either directly on the m.2 or via usb and have a pcie riser
