First high end gaming pc

[Moneyface]

Budget (including currency): max: 2000€/ preferably <1750€

Country: Austria

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Browsing the web and gaming. (mid-level to high-end gaming//on average min. 2h per day)

Other details : existing parts: Crucial 1000MX500 1TB SSD

no peripherals needed; buying as soon as i manage to get a "RX 6800 XT" from AMD Direkt-Buy; 1920x1080 resolution; 144Hz; 1 monitor

 

I plan to upgrade because I am quite sick of getting an average 60fps, or less, on medium, or low settings@1080p, when playing many modern games.

I am also ready to pay a little more for some decent future proof parts and/or performance, if it is worth it.

 

My biggest uncertainty and concern about this build is the motherboard. I have an AMD Ryzen 3 1200 at hand and think that I can probably install the newest bios with it. ?

Alternative boards like the "ASRock X570 Taichi"(~306,61€@Amazon) aren't much cheaper and I am not sure if I am spending too much on the motherboard, or if this kind of price

is appropriate for it's requirements for the other parts.

 

Planned Build:

MoBo: Gigabyte X570 AORUS MASTER (~318,00€@cyberport) maybe from there, not sure yet

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X (~452,53€@AMD Direct-Buy)

Unfortunately, first gen Ryzen processors are not compatible with 500 series chipset motherboards.

 

Edit: here is a list with a motherboard that will remedy that

The BIOS flashback feature will let you flash a new BIOS even without a compatible CPU.

Unless you wish to stream, the R5 5600x is enough of a CPU for your use case.

Yea this is pretty overkill. You can go with a MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK or Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO AC instead.

I generally would recommend to get a NVME with DRAM in it. Also, I think the 970 pro is actually better than the 980 (oh samsung why you do this?). In some case, your current SSD might feel faster because it has a dram cache. Some recommendations:

ADATA XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro

Kingston A2000

ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro

Mushkin Enhanced Pilot-E

I would avoid that one seeing as Adata decided to change the nand/controller for slower versions.

Keep in mind that there's no stock cooler included with the 5800X. Within the 5000 series only the 5600X comes with one.

He has the Noctua NH-U12A listed as the cooler.
