Gaming PC setup

[rommylan]

Hey I am new to gaming on a PC and want to build a computer to allow me to game. I will be playing games like Rust, Diablo resurrected and starcraft. Does anyone have any advice on products to buy for a full setup. My budget is 1500-2000 Australian dollars

My recommendations:

 

CPU - 5800X

Cooler - Scythe Ninja 5

Board - Asus TUF Gaming B550-PLUS WIFI II

RAM - 2x16 DDR4-3200 Patriot Viper 4 PV432G320C6K

Storage - WD Blue SN570 1TB PCIe3 M.2

GPU - Asus Dual OC RTX3060ti 8GB

Case - Corsair 4000D Airflow

PSU - Corsair RM850x

 

I run a 5900X on this board with the same PSU, same basic RAM / GPU in a Fractal Pop XL Air and it screams.

 

However, this pushes your budget, to build the machine only, no monitor, keyboard / mouse, etc. I am not sure what your mention of full setup entails.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600 3.5 GHz 6-Core Processor be quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black CPU Cooler  ASRock B550M Steel Legend Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive XFX Speedster MERC 319 CORE Radeon RX 6800 XT 16 GB Video Card Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case Corsair RM850x (2021) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply   Total: $2017.31   This will be much better than an entry tier GPU with top tier CPU.   Edit: If the budget is so so tight, you can always replace the 6800XT with ASRock Phantom Gaming D OC Radeon RX 6750 XT 12 GB Video Card   and then the new total is $1771.50   With this second build you can also replace the 5600 with 5700X or 5800X for $100 or $170 more respectively.
