$840 PC Build

[4eyeguy]

Budget:

Up to $840 USD before tax, up to $920 USD after tax.

Preferences/Use cases:

I would like the pc to have good ray tracing capabilities. I would also like to get at least 500 fps in Minecraft(my friend gets 800 with max render distance with a 5600x and a 1650). I would also like to have harder to run games run at at least 60 fps and have E-Sports titles at 100fps. All parts should also be new.

CPU:

I would like it to have 6-8 cores and 12-16 threads. Should be AM4 ideally but LGA1700 would be okay.(I know that these are both dead platforms but I don’t plan on making many, if any upgrades. I am currently planning on the 5600 though I would like information on the 5600x, 5600g, 5500, and 5500gt.

Cooler:

In an ideal world, it would be a 240mm aio for good aesthetics but I would be okay with any black cooler with a painted black or covered heatsink.

Motherboard:

I would like the motherboard to have WiFi built in and not be the Intel h series or the amd a series. I would prefer atx but matx is okay. It should also be compatible with the cpu without flashing the bios. I am currently planning on using the Gigabyte b550 Ud ac or the Msi b550m-VC WiFi. It should also have at least 2 fan headers, a cpu fan header, and a pump fan header. (If it has less than 3 case fan headers, 1 cpu fan header, and 1 pump header, it needs to include a fan hub or splitter in the total price).

RAM:

Whatever the cheapest 2x8 ddr4 3600mhz all black ram with a heatsink is at the time.

Storage:

Whatever the cheapest gen 3 or 4 nvme m.2 1tb Ssd is at the time.

GPU:

Only needs 8gb VRAM and should run games as listed above. I know brand bias is bad but I would prefer NVIDIA unless going AMD gets me a 50+ fps gain from NVIDIA with DLSS without any upscaling. It should also be 2-3 fans and be all black. Also it is ideally 40-series.

Case:

Montech Air 903 base in black. (May not be changed).

Power Supply:

Should be around 600w, not from thermaltake, and be non-modular. I am currently planning on the MSI A650-BN.

Also note that I already have peripherals and will be playing at 1080p high settings.

This is not a reason to buy a PC...

 

"I would also like to get at least 500 fps in Minecraft"

 

Do you have actual reasons for your biases?  Like no Thermaltake PSU?  Why?  

 

Stretch a little for this...  or use the included CPU cooler to save ...
