First time building a pc/partslist - improvements & suggestions
3 hours ago, Avallyn said:Budget (including currency): ca. 1500€
Country: Germany
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Civ 6, Dark Souls 1-3 (plus Eldenring sometime in the future), Valheim, Chivalry, Medieval Dynasty, Baldur's Gate 3 (once it's farther done) (plus other stuff that basically runs on a potato)
Other details: I've already bought the case, because I liked it, it got good reviews and it was a little bit on sale. Monitors also need to be bought new, but aren't part of this budget. Mice, keyboards, etc aren't either.
OS: Windows 10 (I don't want 11 yet), I have a student license

I'm having trouble making up my mind regarding the graphics card - is the 170€ difference worth the difference in power/ability? (with the 2. it's a bit below 1500€ and with the 1. a bit above)
Are there any improvements to be made?
If you do have any suggestions, I'd love it if you could explain your reasoning, I'm not just aiming for a good computer, I enjoy understanding the why as well - but I totally get if time's short and someone just throws out "replace X with Y", I appreciate any feedback. Thank you!
P.S.: I'm also wondering if I should wait with buying stuff until the new graphics cards launch/black Friday. Any thoughts?
This will blow the socks off your build.
