Need Help, I haven't built a PC in almost 10 years.

[Firaz44]

Budget (including currency): around 1000$ just the rig, peripherals just using old ones for now.

Country: Malaysia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly gaming and Netflix/YouTube/Twitch

Other details: Currently using a 10 years old PC I build. I have not paid enough attention into latest PC parts and in need of some help building a new rid.

Current PC: an OOOLD  intel i7 930 with a rampage Mobo. (Really OLD)

 

New build:

• CPU(Ryzen/Intel)
• CPU cooler: Water or Air Cooled(Noctua)
• Motherboard(Asus/Gigabyte) or better
• RAM(at least 16GB)DDR4 maybe b'cause DDR5 in expensive
• Storage(at least 512GB SSD for boot + HDD for storage)
• Graphics Card: Preferably NVIDIA (can run 1440p games)
• Case: anything black and not flashy
• Power supply: Seasonic/Corsair (or something better)

 

Any help would be appreciated Thanks.

Maybe look into a Ryzen 5 5600x based system with a B550 motherboard. The CPU prices are decreasing and DDR4 also. See what GPU you can get to play at 1440p, if you want Nvidia, I would go rtx 2060 and up (3060 if you can). Not sure how realistic it is in your market. You may want to consider second hand..? You may also want to consider AMD GPUs, as they're cheaper and you get better value out of them at the moment, especially on the used market.

Start a pcpartpicker list to make it more concrete and based on your local market.

note: you could probably find a 3070/ti for 500 if you look for it, but partpicker has only extremely expensive gpus it seems, so the 3060 is really just a placeholder even though its a decent gpu at an ok price.

 

no mechanical storage drive, we don't do that here ssd only (seriously trust me with such a fast system you *don't* want to have slow ass storage,  even for gaming, direct storage is also about to take off, allegedly...)

 

 

 

EDIT: oh you said 1000 (goodbye 3070ti i guess!) but here you go, still a good system.
