Nah the 6700 is a bit better

But you can get an even better 6700XT with a cheaper SSD, the 980 pro is overpriced for a budget build

And also for $10 more I could get the fractal 2 rgb case that he said is better, is it worth it?

Boot time will be within a couple seconds form a Gen3 SSD, and download is usually capped by download speed to waaay slower speeds, noone has even a 20Gb/sec Internet at home

I don't know these very well but yes it seems to be worth the difference, they're rather around $80 to 100 usually

That's only known by higher powers than me

 

[budgetgaming7]

Budget (including currency): $950 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Call of duty MW1 and 2 Remastered, Minecraft, Stickfight the game, Paint the town red, Gta, Rust, Cyberpunk, Red dead redemption, Warzone 1 and 2

Streaming but I won’t sacrifice 10 fps for better streaming, Editing YouTube videos

 

but mostly Games, I prefer highest fps in games.

Other details: I will get a 144HZ 1440p Monitor. However I have a hard time choosing between the Asrock Radeon 6700xt and the Asrock Dual.

Is there anything I could improve in this PC?

This will be my first ever gaming PC and I hope every part is okay and will get amazing performance https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RTYsgb

nope, literally no notes, holy shit.

 

Everything id give to you is pure nitpicks such as DRAMless m.2 as boot drives, older focus unit rebrand that you have for PSU that are more prone to transient power tripping the OCP, and Team having rock bottom DRAM vendors for their products besides the enthusiast high end lineup, which really wont affect the performance in the long run and really is only reliability check. and of course, to wait for 13400F to hit so you can get generational improvement.

[Dukesilver27-]

I'd change the motherboard and SSD, those are bad for the price.

MSI PRO B660M-A are great value motherboard, if you someday upgrade your CPU to at least 12600K or above, you'd want a capable board. That asrock one is so bad, FYR

Also, I personally would stay away from anything Asrock, generally not very high quality, at least Asus is somewhat decent.

Would this be amazing setup to play At around 180 fps 1080p high or sumn? Like really top tier performance 100 fps every game something like that

[Dukesilver27-]

180 fps in 1080p could be hard to achieve, you need faster CPU, I have 12400 too, 160 fps ish is achievable. 

In 1080p most games in high or medium settings should run at 100+ fps, ultra settings could be achievable, but not on every game.

Oh for example maybe call of duty warzone 1080p max settings everything how much food do you think? Sorry for so much questions, and what’s bout 1080p high cyber punk

and another question if I get a 1440p 144 hz monitor would I not be able to switch to 1080p 144 hz without my size of my screen changing? Like would I have to play on 1440p

[Dukesilver27-]

I cant really answer per game basis, you have to watch benchmarks for that. In any case, this build is meant to be a decent 1440p gaming machine, so 1080p should be no problem. Whereas 1440p high settings you should expect above 90 fps on latest AAA games.

I did some research, the asrock version of the 6700xt averaged 128 fps with 1 percent low 73 fps at 1440p max every setting, idk how much a difference brands make tho

This is warzone btw

[Dukesilver27-]

Hardly matters, mid or lower end models aren't going to be held back by cooling performance. The standard cheapest models would do about the same as high end models. Maybe 1 to 5 fps differences.

Um, this is the new version I got a higher budget but I can only buy one by one, unfortunately the case price went up, is ri still good? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gtCvk9

[budgetgaming7]

Budget (including currency): $950

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Warzone series, rust, streaming, Roblox Minecraft cyberpunk ETC

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): https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gtCvk9

 

the questions I have now is should I change the case? It’s like $92 now, and I want rgb

 

However my main concern is this.

So since I’m a new pc builder, I have a brother and a father who will help me, However I’m worried I might screw up my first PC build, or not understand something, or maybe perhaps not have the correct tools for it.

What happens if I DO end up screwing up my PC and then I break something or something goes wrong with hardware, What would happen afterwards?

And what are my chances of screwing something up with the hardware?
