Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming

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): 

 

Hello all!  Just getting this out of the way, I've had a stroke 2 1/2 years ago so if I sound weird bear with me. I'm looking for a "gaming" PC for about $1000. This is what I've come up with but I need help. My memory is gone.  But, I'm trying to get back into gaming.  I said about a thousand, but any help would be fine.  I can buy a piece or two here and there.  Thank you!

go with a 750watt psu

cpu do 5600x ryzen 7 (8cores)

 

what resolution will you game at? if its 1080p, id suggest going with a regular 6700xt since 8gb isnt enough to recomend anymore.

 

get a rog stric b550-f gaming or a b550 chipset motherboard of your choice

At 1080p there is only like a 5-10 fps difference between the 6700xt and the 6750xt. I would go with a 6700xt.

[CaleJohnson]

Minutes I have, lol.  I'm really looking to just be able to play a few games now, Civ, Minecraft ( I know, please don't make fun, lol), but I;d like to be able to play like Red Dead Redemption and others. I don't know if that's what you needed, if not ask again and THANKS!!

I would go with this coming in at 923 dollars. It has a ryzen 5 5600 which is all you need for gaming, 32gb of ram and a 6700xt which I mentioned above has only like 5-10 fps difference at 1080p. Im assuing you want to play at 1080p. Is this correct? Also a cheaper but faster ssd, you had selected a gen 3 ssd in my list is a gen 4 one.

[CaleJohnson]

Nope, you are right. 1080p.  Ohh, lemme look.

For 1080p id definitely get a neck better CPU. And its not like we're losing a lot by going back to 6700XT, 6750XT specification changes are only on its clock speed which you can quickly change in Radeon Adrenalin software.

Check out that build now and keep in mind the 12400F runs dead even with the 5600X.

AM4 still pretty good deal for today, especially the 5700X. You could go with a build like this:

Power supply is a bit overkill, so you could save money there

 

You could also go with a gen 3 nvme instead

Nice build. Just a cheaper ssd would do just fine.
