Noobs fIrst PC

[TheNoobster23]

Budget (including currency): 2000

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads for which it will be used, Usually playing single-player AAA games. I would like to try and play multiplayer games and maybe try some MMOs. Not a streamer or anything. Just regular school and office work as well. 

Other details: I need help in figuring out what is a good CPU and GPU combo. I have seen many and my head starts spinning. I am looking to just play games in 4k with a good amount of frames. Also as stated before do everyday office and school work So all suggestions are welcomed. Thanks in advance.

Can you define "good amount", e.g. 60, 90?

 

Does the PC need to include a monitor and peripherals?

This is what I would get. Fastest gaming CPU on the market and a card that trade blows with the RTX 4080.

Could get a cheaper cooler like the Peerless Assassin SE120 but the AK620 just looks better in my opinion.

Good motherboard with enough VRM cooling.

Sweetspot 6000Mhz CL30 memory for Ryzen.

2TB m.2 SSD.

7900 XTX GPU

One of the most popular cases on the market, the beautiful 4000D from Corsair.

BeQuiet PurePower 12M 850w power supply with 10 year warranty.

7800X3D and either a 7900 XTX or 4080 Super. The 7800X3D is the best gaming CPU money can buy, and it's more than adequate for things like excel as well. The 7900 XTX and 4080 Super are both ~$1000 GPUs and about the limit for what you can fit in a system of this budget, each with their own pros and cons. The 7900 XTX is a bit faster on average in normal rasterization based titles, while the 4080 is much faster in ray traced games with some extra features like DLSS and CUDA.

Anything where it is smooth enough to not cause glitchyness. If that makes sense

Is there a major difference between Nvidia or Ryzen that I should be aware of.

7800x3d + 4080s + 32gb 6000c30

 

if you want an amd gpu the 7900xtx (hellhound) is 100$ cheaper

 

nothing particularly special here aside from the 1300w psu cause if you already have this kinda budget for a pc i wouldnt be surprised if you upgraded to a 4090 class card or higher in the future, and its pretty good value for its wattage

Look at a 1440P monitor if you desire decent frame rates. The RTX 4090 is the only true 4K gaming gpu imo and that card alone would eat up your entire budget.

mostly the software, the drivers of AMD are much better than they were so I'd say get AMD for the value, unless you prefer nvidia (and use RT)
