beginner First build

[Therry472]

Budget 4000

Country: Netherlands

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Cities skylines with many mods

I've never actually built a pc.

So i also have no idea what i should get for it.

 

Any suggestions?

well do you need monitors/peripherals?

[Guest]

In recent years graphics cards are very expensive.  might want to start looking for complete systems with the graphics card you want.  Also look at how to upgrade that system with other parts.

I do have monitors, but they are old.

So yes i do need those.

With a budget of 4000 dollars, you can afford some STRONK graphics cards. I suggest you get a RTX 3060ti - RTX 3070ti, or anything in between. This should cost you about 1 grand. With 3000 dollars left, you can splurge on peripherals and other things.

Little under budget so you can splurge on more ram or SSD storage if you want.

Thanks for all the reply's

Since i decided to use my laptop as keyboard and screen i only need the computer itself to function as gaming power.

My laptop isn't really designed for gaming.

 

So i now have the following:

-Asus Prime Z590a-A

-4X Trident Z Royal

-Be Quiet! Dark Base 700

-Be Quiet! Silent Loop 2 240MM

-Samsung 980 1TB

-Asus TUF gaming Geforce RTX 3070 TI OC edition

-Intel Core I9 10900K

-Be Quiet! Straight power! 1200W Platinum

 

I do want this build to be as silent as can be, as it's going to be in the living room.

Any Suggestions?
