New pc

Budget (including currency): $2000 AUD

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: competitive fps 240fps 1080p

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): https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/mNQw7R

I’ve put together this parts list but not sure if it is correctly balanced.

I have looked into getting a 2nd hand gpu in a 3080 I’ve seen cor similar price to a 3070 and believe it is worth but wanted to get the opinion from someone who understands it a little more than me.

Thanks for any help 🙂

You could save a lot if you bought a reasonably priced aio, or even better, an air cooler, the ram is pretty bad, yi7 should get 6000MHz cl30-32 kit if you plan on playing competitively. The cpu is way overkill for the gpu, even 240 fps, you could get like a 13600k with 6700xt, it would be cheaper and better, this pc ofc would get 240fps, but pretty bad value

I’d maybe go cheaper on the CPU (like a 7700) to get a better GPU (maybe a 6800 or 7800XT). But it depends on which competitive fps games your playing.

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticeably improve performance past 240mm and don't improve at all past 360mm. 9) RTFM.

@jaslion just made a AUD list thats really good, so I'am qouting him 🙂 

 

A rx6800 xt new can be had for basically that money and it's faster AND doesn't run into low vram issues.

 

Faster better cheaper computer

I’ve had to many issues with and gpu’s so thought I’d try a nvidia

Which GPU's? From personal experience the 6000 series is really stable

AMD's drivers have got more stable in the last 2 generations. You really won't get that much better stability by moving to Nvidia. You'll also be giving up alot of performance in the kinds of games you mentioned. Nvidia has poor traditional rendering this generation and their party tricks (DLSS and raytracing) don't really apply in competitive FPS games.

I used to have a 6700xt but that just keep boot looping and really unstable in game. Tried new drivers and all sorts but kept having same issues

Interesting, when you installed the 6700xt, was it put into a new build or did it replace another card? If the latter, did you remove the old drivers before installing the 6700xt?

It was installed into an old build which was wiped of old drivers and had no bottleneck with old cpu.
