First PC (help)

[imrllykool]

Budget (including currency): US$ 1500

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Halo Infinite, Spider-man, MW2, CIV6, Minecraft

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): I have 0 peripherals. I would like 1440p and 144 Hz but I can understand if it won't fit the budget. I have a Windows key. Would like wifi.

Working on my own part that goes above budget: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BpNhXy. It may be more clear in what I am looking to do.

Is there anything particularly wrong with that list aside from ~100 over budget?

It looks like it should be fine. aside from maybe having to update the bios before the cpu will be recognized (according to partpicker)

For some reason the PSU isn't listed in the price...

I guess I'm looking for confirmation that everything should hopefully be fine for what I want. Thank you for your help in finding some cost saving parts.

Anytime.

a couple of thoughts. The PSU is only 550W which should be okay for this system but if you choose to upgrade in the future you will probably need more watts (especially if GPUs keep getting more power hungry)

Also I dont think you would really need an X570 board unless you want some features only available on that chipset. see below. 

 

could also shave some $ off the top by dropping to a non x570 chipset. see this system board

has built in Wifi and M.2 as well as 2 x16 pcie slots. that should fit the bill as well as save another ~$40 (unless you buy on amazon where you only save $20)
