[Mark Walter]

Budget (including currency):3Grands

Country: India 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Just for 4K gaming and video playbacks at 8k and programming

Other details: Hello there this the first time I am starting any thread here in forums as I am a new member. I saved a bit over 3000USD and I want to build a machine with that money and I want to play games at 4k over 60Fps and I am going to buy the PC today morning I wasn't able to sleep because of my thoughts on my dream coming true so I started a thread here after making my account as I know you people are even more into tech than me!

 

Thanks.

My first Idea is this

I am not sure how you might get the OS because I did not include it, also I did not include any peripherals.

 

I want to see other peoples opinions on this build because I could be missing something. 

 

(The aio would be an exaust fan)

 

EDIT: You might need to get a seperate mounting bracket

what if I get my hands on a rtx 3080 bud

[Cr33ps]

what is the price

[Mark Walter]

around 1400 bucks 

[Cr33ps]

The 3080 is better than the 6800xt but the 6800xt has 16gb of Gddr6 Vram which can be useful in different situations

[Mark Walter]

Hey so that's the deal but whats the conclusion what shoul I buy just for gaming and programming 

[Cr33ps]

Probably I would go with the 3080 but you can ask more people for there opinion

1440p, 1080p, and if you don't stream, edit or have any other use for CUDA cores, I'd go with the 6800xt. At 4k, they're both pretty close and come down to price and preference mostly.

actually I do use v-ray eventually I like to game to 1440p and 4k and rtx 3080 is faster at the end

Then the 3080 makes more sense.

What's the price of 6800xt vs 3080? Also depends on if you want ray tracing or not. 6800xt is about the same performance as 3080 minus ray tracing. I also think the 6800XT will age better due to the 16GB of vram. Similar to the RX580 8GB models, they still hold up decently due to them having more vram than necessary at the time.

 

In terms of your build, I would go with something like this:
