Budget (including currency): $1k Us

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Light video editing, but mostly gaming. I want to play Apex valorant overwatch at 120 fps+, spiderman, and Horizon zero dawn.

Other details: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jn3FNc are some parts i was looking at, im wondering if the i5 will bottleneck a 3050, also will i need to buy a separate cooler and get a better psu.

You're way overspending on CPU, and that PSU is a bit sketch. Also, you're way overspending on case for an 800 build.

300 USD for a 3050 is also a waste in a world where the 6600XT and 6700XT exist.

Here's a cheaper, faster build:

Here's a MUCH faster build within your original 1K budget (enable PBO on that board to get more from that CPU).

Feel free to get more storage if you feel you can do without that aftermarket cooler for example.

Hello, I came up with this. It's all current gen Intel and is upgragde-able. I went with an AMD GPU because it's better than the 3050 and it costs less. If you ever wanted to get a better one the PSU I picked has room for it.

I have been building PCs for over 30 years so if you have any questions please ask. For Future Communication I use Discord for much Faster Response Times as I have it open 24/7. I am also available if you need help before, during, or after the Build Process on Discord through Text,Voice, or Video Chat. I can be with you while you build your new PC if you need me to be. Here is my Discord: Wizardsnapper#2772
