Buying PC Tommorow Around 1000$ Budget

[_Alexa_93]

Budget (including currency): 1000$

Country: Serbia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: No advanced program, just fifa, lol, some story mode games 

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): Tommorow, already got monitor.

I'm trying to build a pc that I'm going to buy my brother tommorow so I want to know wether I chose right GPU and CPU:

Gpu: since I'm limited to two manufacturers either

XFX 6700 Speedster Swift 10gb

or

PowerColor Fighter 6700 10gb

both are around 345$

 

CPU: R7 7700  = 415$

 

I've done quite a research and tbh these two seemed to be the best value for price, maybe I can go with sapphire 6700xt which is 410$.

Don't bother putting a dollar value unless you're buying in dollars. Better to link the site you're buying from, and having people help you that way otherwise you're going to get part suggestions that make absolutely no sense.

 

Between those two cards I'd just get the one that offers the best warranty support in your region.

Both are fine, pick whichever you think looks the best or just flip a coin. You won't notice a performance difference between the two and the coolers on both should be about the same.

It's a solid CPU choice. The price seems a bit high for one of those, so I'd look into how the pricing of going Intel instead (13600K is a little faster, so look at one of those), as well as checking if the R7 7700X is cheaper as there are times where it's significantly cheaper for whatever reason. I don't know Serbia's pricing though, so it's very possible that these prices are actually pretty good.

If you can afford to go for the 6700 XT, I'd go for the 6700 XT, it's faster enough to justify the extra cost, especially in the context of a full system. That price does seem a little high to me, but again, I don't know Serbia's pricing and that could just be what they go for.

Thank you, and thank you for the advice, the site is in serbian but here are the links:

But yeah that'd be the XFX card

Thank you for the reply. You got me really thinking now, if I do buy 6700XT it leaves me technically with only 175$ left for the rest of the build excluding monitor and let's say keyboard mouse and headset haha, it's my dad's money for my brother's birthday so idk if I can stretch my budget or not..

about cpu yes the 7700X one is cheaper but 20$ at best price store but that would cost me the cooler that it doesn't go with,

I know, I use it but most of the time for the pc parts, bc group is the one with lowest prices where i can also get parts physically in store without waiting 7 days or so for delivery

The 13600KF is probably by far the best CPU option out of those, being about $70 cheaper which allows for a beefy cooler like the AG620 while being about the same price as the 7700, or you could get something a bit more basic like the AG400 and save some money, but it probably would be loud and hot at full load unless you tweak the power limits, likely irrelevant if it's only for gaming though.

7700,

the 7700 can be cooled by it's stock cooler

so I don't think it would be. If you're talking about the 7700x it's a different story but the 7700 is normally cheaper than the 7700x for the same performance

I'm talking about the 13600KF, and in this case the 7700 is more expensive.

Prices in the shop posted are:

7700 - 45.719 RSD (~416USD)

7700X - 44.604 RSD (~405USD)

13600K - 40.808 RSD (~371USD)

13600KF - 37.990 RSD (~345USD)

The coolers I mentioned are

AG620 - 7.941 RSD (~72USD)

AG400 - 3.613 RSD (~32USD) for the cheapest variant, with non-ARGB LEDs

you don't need that with the 7700 since it already has a wraith spire stock cooler in the box

13600KF - 37.990 RSD (~345USD)

but I see what you mean but if they're just gaming I would rather get am5 since it'll be supported for longer than lga 1700 and the 7700 is better for gaming, (which is all their doing)

I only mentioned the cooler for the 13600KF, with the AG620 being a quiet and capable cooler for the same as the price difference between the 7700 and 13600KF, and the AG400 louder and less capable, but would save ~$40 compared to going with the 7700.

13600KF + AG620 is the same price as the 7700

13600KF + AG400 is ~$40 cheaper than the 7700

 

The 13600K and 7700X are nearly identical in games overall, depending on the variables one or the other will be ahead by 3~5% on average. 3DCenter summary of 20+ reviews put the 13600K 1,6% ahead of the 7700X, which is (again) nearly identical performance. I consider platform support a bonus/tiebreaker, and only that, I wouldn't pay more to get it, for all we know Zen 5 can be trash and Zen 6 can be on AM6. And unless there's a clear intent to upgrade within 3 years, it's mostly irrelevant.
