First Build Help

[FloatingPotato]

Budget (including currency): €2.500

Country: Netherlands

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly gaming, FFXIV, CoD MW2, Cyberpunk and hopefully FFXVI when it launches. Also will be used for light work, no video editing anything.

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): Already have some drives and monitors.

Not experienced with building my own pcs, my current pc is a build a friend built for me, using a 1070, so it's starting to show its age. Currently playing on 1440p, but planning to switch to 4K in the near future. 

 

Any advice on compatibility or maxing out performance is appreciated.

 

I notice very few builds on this forum use the 700XTX, is there a specific reason for this? Willing to swap to Nvidia is that turns out to be the better choice.

Looks good to me... You don't necessarily need a 360 AiO, but it seems so be reasonably priced and the case does not come with any intake fans so it's a valid choice...

Right now AMD is just better price to performance in most cases... The closest GPU from team green would be the 4080 and you can see what that costs... Only problem with AMD is that the ray tracing performance got better but still is not great...

Just looked at the parts and not the price... That's a whole lot more of CPU power

Not many people use ray tracing. They might in the higher end (I only got a 3060) but from what I saw the minimal gain in looks compared to the large performance hit doesn’t seem worth it, not even for high end systems like this one. I would say the 7900 xtx is a better card than the 4080 for the price, then again that’s based on my 15 year old brain and videos I’ve watched so it may be wrong. Also read my signature

At least for gaming, it’s alright for productivity, but they’re not doing any intensive productivity work so…

That does look like a lot more performance! Thanks for the tip!

Ah okay, then i'll stick with the 7900XTX, Raytracing isn't something i'm too excited about, so not worth spending more money on a more expensive GPU (for me, anyway).

Careful, she';s going to show you how at 4K, the CPU will be on par...
