Builiding a high-end PC that'll last for a few good years, but is also best bang for the buck

HeftyNugget

Budget (including currency): Let's say... 2500-3000 EUR

Country: Poland

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: VR, HL: Alyx, Boneworks, Streaming, Visual Studio, Docker, Dota2, Witcher 3, Sea of Thieves

Other details:

  • Current screens: 3 x FHD (1920x1080), planned to get a 4K 120Hz in near future
  • Need at least 32GB RAM
  • I'll be moving my SSHD and M.2 SSD over from my old PC
  • Would greatly appreciate a quiet PC case with a good dust filter and water cooling capability (if I decide to install it in the future)
  • Preferably nVidia and Intel combo

 

I'm totally not up-to-date with latest hardware if it comes to GPU's, CPU's and Mobos - so I appreciate any suggestions 🙂

Suggest me something you would buy for yourself to get most value out of that budget. Thanks!

Check out the prebuilt ones. Here (in Switzerland) there are brands in sale on a regular basis.

GPU's are still overpriced overwise.

On Black Friday, for example, I did buy one Lenovo with a 3060Ti inside for 1500usd

I'm willing to swim against the current.

Prebuilt are generally more expensive than the parts they're built from - plus putting PC together is fun 😄

Even if the prices are winded up right now, I can wait to buy the GPU later

In that case you'll need an iGPU. Maybe check out the AMD 5600G and 5700G ?

Or I can use GPU from my old PC for the time being
