First PC Build Spec'd out - Needs Checking

PianoMan · June 28, 2023

Budget (including currency): $2000 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly Gaming (Mostly 1st/3rd person shooters/action RPGs - definitely Starfield), some Music Production/Recording

Other details

- This is my first PC build ever, so while I've done my research and I think I have a solid build here, I want to have some more knowledgeable people look over it.

- The Case and RGB are fun additions because I had some extra money left in the budget. If I can get a noticable performance increase by going a different direction, then I'm open to it (though I'd really like to stick with the Fractal North case in particular).

- My only true requirement is that the build must have very solid WiFi. We currently rent a very old house, and I'm not able to implement anything like powerline ethernet.

This is decent but we can go for a 7800X3D to give us some more space for gpu upgrades later on (also added a 1050w psu for later upgrades)
