Upgrading

NoxiousTed · October 19, 2023

Budget (including currency): $3000

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CSGO, COD MW2, Resident Evil (All including remakes), Fallout (All), Fortnite, Apex, GTA V new games like Forza Motorsport or The Last of Us I & Dead Island 2.

It's been 3-4 years since I built my last PC and I've been busy so I haven't been into too much about the new PC stuff that's out now. I was too busy to think about building a PC with work so I went out and bought an Xbox Series S in the meantime, but I definitely need a new PC. Mine won't run most of the games nowadays as smoothly.

This is the PC I have now: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pVHQ78

This is the PC list I took about 2 hours to put together: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/D8WxHG

I'm looking for something that's future-proof for a couple of years so I don't have to worry about upgrading it for a while. I prefer nice graphics with decently high FPS, so basically all high graphics. I don't care for raytracing or any of that. I only use 1080p and if I did upgrade monitors I'd only go to 1440p. I also plan to do VR if that matters as well. I don't have to use all of my $3000 budget but I want this to be beefy and not a budget system.

I'm willing to take any suggestions such as switching to AMD or changing a couple of things. I'm only picky in the sense I only like black and prefer no white items.

PS: I also did get a new 1080p 165hz monitor that's good enough for me. I will also be taking my storage from my old PC and putting it in my new that's why there is only one storage device.
