Upgraded PC

[JosephKas]

Budget (including currency): $3000 Cad

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: RDR2, Modded Minecraft, VR such as Alyx and Beat Saber. 

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): Case is already bought. Planning 1440p on triple monitor setup, but wiggle room for future could be useful for 4k. Upgrading from a 1060 and i7-7700. 

It is planned to be all AMD, however nividia or Intel are perfectly acceptable if it's better Price for performance.

I know that I've done a bad job, but that's also why I'm here on this forum. I would like it to be as Linux friendly as possible, however that's not important enough for me to worry about alot.

 

Current list here: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/NfrXh3

Otherwise:

 - Ryzen 5 7600

- Dark rock Pro

- Gigabyte B650

- 2 * 16 GSkill trident Z5

- Samsung 990 Pro

- ASRock RX6700XT 12GB

- Corsair RM750e

- Windows 11

Do you want to spend the entire 3k on the best you can get, or is 2500 what you have listed the ceiling?  Do you have monitors with your previous build?

 

Not sure why you took the Ryzen 5 7600 when you have 500 more to spend, or stopped at the 6700XT, for example.

 

If you want to spend the entire budget...

Do you want to include your monitors in the 3000 budget or could we spend 3000 on parts only?

Thank you tons. I gave lots of headroom exactly for this reason. I don't know alot and just chose based on what I've heard to be good. 

Already own the monitors, but the 3k was the ceiling.

Okay, then you can swap the secondary parts (SSD, PSU, etc) as you want.    Obviously case is subjective, that's all you.  You have to look at it, I don't

 

 

The CPU/GPU/mobo are what I would stick with.  The RAM is a slower latency, as the X3D CPU's don't take advantage of low latency RAM like regular CPUs.
