Budget (including currency): 3000 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft, MS Flight Simulator 2020, GTA V, and other popular pc games.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Hi! 

I am building my first PC, and I need your help deciding the part list for it. 

My theme is white. I tried to make a PC Part Picker list with all the components I think are good.

Any recommendations?

Pretty good overall, but I would recommend this PSU instead

Still keeps the white theme and Corsair's customer care is a lot better than asus

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Since you can't see the PSU inside that case anyway, I bet you can get a PSU that isn't Asus and white which is just as good or better for less money.

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

But will it have white cables? 🙂

Rather than 2x2TB HDD, consider a 4TB drive. If you have budget for it, I'd suggest a 4TB NVMe drive.

 

Consider a 2x16GB memory kit.

 

You might consider a truly white case.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
