Budget (including currency): ≈1,766 euro/ 10,697 pln

Country: Poland

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: mostly games like shooters or gta

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): 

 

So i was planning on my pc build for a long time now and that's what I came up with:


CPU: i5 11400F

CPU cooling: COOLER MASTER MasterLiquid ML240 Illusion RGB

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming OC 12GB GDDR6V

motherboard: GIGABYTE Z590 Aorus Elite AX

RAM: CORSAIR Venegance Pro RGB 32GB 3200Mhz

case: CORSAIR iCUE 4000X RGB

power supply: ATX GIGABYTE 1000W 80+ Gold

drive: SILICON POWER P34A80 2TB SSD

 

It will be my first build, made from scratch. I have 1080p 165hz monitor. I wanna buy as soon as possible and for some reasons I have to buy from one site.

I mostly want to know if any of the parts can be replaced by other better in the same price or cheaper, also it would be great to know if anything is bottlenecking

Change the CPU to a 12400F and motherboard to a MSI PRO B660M-A WiFi. Then change the GPU to a 3070 Ti. For these games, especially at 1080p, CPU more important than GPU. You could probablly even get a 6600 XT without noticing a difference. Also 11th gen can't be upgraded to something good, and Z590 is useless on 11400F.

 

Also you don't need anything close to 1000w. A decent 750w PSU should be enough, or if you don't mind the white color this one is better.

 

AIO also really isn't needed for a CPU, it's very overkill. Something like this should be more than enough.

Thank for quick answer!

I might not be able to get budget that big later in the future so i want to get the best possible path for future upgrades and with news about next gen GPUs power consumption i dont want to worry about my PSU. i think i will definitely switch cpu to 12th gen tho. Also can you recommend any other motherboard thats preferably full ATX?

I still don't recommend Gigabyte PSU's. That model had exploding units, though that's fixed, and Gigabyte's support is trash. Something like a Straight Power 11 1000w would be a lot better.

 

For the motherboard an Asus ROG Strix B660-A Gaming WiFi or MSI MAG B660 Tomahawk WiFi should be good, but they also cost more than MicroATX boards.
