New First Build

[SmartDumb]

Budget (including currency): USD $1500, preferably $1300.

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 3D work, VFX, and Competitive Gaming. Games like MW2, Apex, the void of games in my steam library, and similar titles.

Other details: I have an M.2 SN750 SE 500GB, upgrading from a laptop, planning to buy as soon as possible, the monitor is 1080p 165hz, maybe I would upgrade to a 1440p monitor but till next year, no needed peripherals, would like 32GB of ram and an extra 1TB of extra fast storage, also if this could be done with the NZXT H510 Flow, as I fell in love with it.

 

I would appreciate your help.

Went with a 3070Ti, which will really help especially when you get that 1440p monitor.

Also, completely agree about the fact that the h510 flow is the best looking case on the planet

Wouldn't something like an intel CPU be better?

If you're into competitive gaming, FPS gives an edge, single core performance for the CPU matters quite a bit more, therefore the 12600KF instead of 5700X/5800X, coupled with a decent air cooler.

Motherboard is subject to change, you need to check what ports you need or features you want, but get the Z690.

RAM is also subject to change, maybe get ones with RGB if you like.

SSD is a very good value for what it is.

GPU, could go a bit higher with 3070 ti, if you want to stretch to $1500. Just dont go with a 3080, 3080 suffers in 1080p, in 1440p it would be fine, so up to you.
