Which titles are you interested in?  That’s not a ton of cash.  But can perhaps be made to work if a bit of specialization is done.

Playing any game without issues going to be dependent upon many factors.

1st up overall the PC for the price seems fine.

However I would think that for most games your are limited to the 1080p. running 1440p is going to be hard on many recent titles but is possible.

Just dont go ultra mode or highest eye candy settings the game has.

you can reduce the GPU load dramatically by stepping down to high from ultra and medium from high. Visually once immersed in the game you will not really notice.

Shadows are quite an intensive load so lowering shadows to medium is always a good item to adjust.

Lighting effect can be adjusted and motion blur can be switched off completely.

reflections are also quite intensive and often in many games where there is plenty of action do you need to see a reflection in a puddle ?

basically if you tweak your settings to meet what you PC can handle then your experience in gaming should be quite adequate.

Build this, go AM5 just because its pretty cheap. By getting a cheaper CPU (a still decent one though) you can get a better GPU and double the amount of ram, you can also get faster/better ram. This build also only costs $876, to make it cheaper you could remove the cooler since the stock amd cooler is good enough for a bit and you can remove the cooler and buy a 6800, that does make the cost like $960 though.

Okay sorry I know I'm annoying, but I changed it a bit.

I also made it Oman pcpartpicker.

https://om.pcpartpicker.com/list/MFsjPX

How the game looks doesn't really matter to me, as long as I'm able to play it without anything getting in the way.

games like: watch dogs legion, red dead redemption 2, assassins creed Valhalla, and Cyberpunk.

Yeah sorry, I just realized.

The thing is I can only order from Newegg since the delivery is free. because the import fees on Amazon are too much

Are there no local stores? Newegg is trash man, there customer support is horrible and if something comes damaged you most likely won't get your money back.

There are, but the parts are so much more expensive.

how likely is it for the stuff to come broken though?

not sure, it really depends on how they ship it. But even if the parts don't arrived damage if you want to return the card or something its pain, its a good choice not to go with newegg. Try to negiotiate with your local stores.

You'll definitely want a dedicated cpu cooler. Case should be fine for that, as it supports up to 160mm coolers.

If you need to go a bit cheaper, just do a 5600 build.

My only issue with that list is that there is only 16gb of ram, most modern games require more than that. Is the 5700xt that bad of a gpu?

I mean no so if you can find it cheap enough then it should be fine

with these games 16 gigs of ram SHOULD be fine. Not amazing, but fine

There’s a pcpartpicker for Oman? Cool!  I’ll use that then.

No you’re thinking of 8gb they might in the future go over 16gb though so some people are buying 32gb

[Bombastinator]

Ok.  This may seem a bit low end because it is.  It’s a low end 4k build though.  Which means to make it work right it needs a true 4k monitor with high refresh.  NONE of the monitors on pcpartpicker had prices on them, so I went without and simply left enough space to find something.

No not really? I have heard stories of people playing Hogwarts Legacy and that game with a youtube tab open takes like 14gb.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CY2fY9 How is this?

I found a used 3060ti in a local shop.

[Bombastinator]

If you’ve got spare money in the budget I would go for a ddr5 board rather than ddr4 at this point for lga1700.  Because you can basically ddr4 at this point is one of the weaknesses of am4 atm.  A 3060ti is more or less competitive with the 6700xt iirc. So 1440p. One of the big problems with Nvidia cards atm though is they tend to be short on memory.  If it’s only got 8gb it’s a do-not-buy because there are already games that need more memory for even just 1080p. That 6950xt would eat it for lunch. A 3060ti 8gb isn’t really a gaming card these days mostly because it’s too short on memory. If it’s a 10 or 12 you’re fine though.

I'm tryna spend less money and you're telling me to spend more lol.

I mean from the benchmarks I've seen with this GPU and CPU combo, it's not that bad tbh.

But still, I know nothing about PCs so I'm probably wrong.

I just wanna get a PC that works and can comfortably play any game with.

The 6700xt performs better than the 3060 ti, try to find that.

Well a 3060ti ain’t that.  It’s not the power or speed.  Even a regular 3060 used to kick butt at 1080p. It’s the memory. 8gb doesn’t cut it any more.  If this was even a straight 3060 but with enough memory it would be a fine way to go.
