Pc build sanity check

[chaedder]

Budget (including currency): 3 thousand AUD

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 1440P gaming, VR, Ai image generation

Other details : I'm upgrading from an old gaming laptop and want to build a system that can handle just about anything I throw at it at 1440p, 120 hz. Buying from this site specifically because they're local and within driving distance. I have decent peripherals already and will be buying a monitor separately. I tend to multitask a lot and am a data hoarder. I've ran the build through PCpartpicker to test for compatibility, checked the ram clearance(thank god, the white vengeance rgb i had chosen would not have fit), gpu clearance and cpu cooler clearance. Just posting here to make sure I haven't screwed up somewhere or left a bunch of performance on the table somewhere.

You could buy locally but going with this build, theres a good few upgrades and about $100 saving

8600G is unnecessary as the selling point is the iGPU as it is primarily an APU not a CPU, 7800X3d is the best gaming CPU on the market, hands down

Better cooler for cheaper (and has RGB)

Motherboard is cheaper and is much more white

RAM is white to match build and lower latency

Much cheaper NVMe, 1 4tb instead of 2 2TB, saves about $40

Hard drive is cheaper from whatever site that is (Do you need 8TB?)

GPU is about on par but $200 cheaper with 4GB more VRAM

Bigger PSU for only $4 more

You want DDR5-6000 CL30 seeing how games benefit from low latency. I would also consider the Ryzen 7 7700 cpu.

Missed that, good catch
