Budget (including currency): 1000 usd

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Lots of Rocket League, racing sims, other 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): I don't need crazy graphics or anything I just want to be able to run most game well. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qBdYz6 I put this together and am liking how its coming together but I don't really know If there there are better parts to go with or how I could get better price to performance. I also am struggling on how to choose the motherboard. I am open to suggestions of all kinds. Thanks!

 

Cooler is overkill

B350 mobo are old crap, and $150 wtf ??

Case is choked

You absolutely don't need 750W PSU

 

Then you can get a 7800XT 🙂

Solid build list. However, I would not do a B350 board, if you want to do AM4 and don't want to go AM5 get a B550.
