first pc build

JazzieKate · October 26, 2021

Hi! I'm thinking of building some pcs to make some money for an upgrade of my own. If you have some sugestions on how to make it a bit better, they're more than welcome. I was also wondering how much I would be able to sell it for.

Budget: About $2.5/2.7k AUD

Country: Australia

There would also be an msi rtx2060 6gb, but i couldnt find the same one on pcpartpicker.

Sorry if this is all a bit of a mess, or if it's painfully obviously I don't know too much.

Thanks for the help!

I'm going of the assumption this is for gaming.

As for your build important things like a ssd are missing but the parts aren't bad. Part from not having a ssd of course.

However I did a complete rebuild that is better for you money.

This computer has ssd only storage which is just insanely better than hdds.

It has airflow. This case is a front mesh one so your pc will cool much better and run a lot less hot which can result in better performance.

Changed some minor parts to optimize budget but not skip on quality.

No need for a 180$ cooler on that cpu.

The 3060 is a rip-off but since I don't know how much your 2060 will be I added it in anyway. It is better than a 2060 but it all depends on how much you are willing to spend.
