Advice for pc

[ParzivalAero]

Budget (including currency): 2500 US dollars

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Rainbow six siege, valorant, COD, etc.

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 would like the best possible build for this budget with also rgb and a good looking case. Plus reliable parts and stuff like that. One more thing I want it to be upgradable for the future, thanks guys!

These questions are important for us to be able to make a recommendation.

 

Additionally, are you near a microcenter or have any preferred retailers? Do you just want the best deal with best parts or do you want time put into getting the best looking PC as far as color schemes and RGB goes? Does your budget include a windows key or tax?

Seeing how you play first person shooter games (which are the best games imo) let's give this build a trendy name such as 'Black Death'. This board includes Realtek 4080 audio and we know how important it is to hear footsteps in games such as CoD Warzone, BF, etc ...

I am several hours away from a microcenter. I mean the rgb isn't necessarily must have but I just want it to look good. One thing I forgot was that I don't personally like white color schemes. Thanks for your help!

another thing is I already have a monitor in mind and don't need that. Plus a case that would be fairly similar to these. Considering I don't need a monitor that could open the price up a little bit

Your build you created looks amazing but can you fact check the compatibility of it because it says it is not also it would be cool with a different case looking like the ones i mentioned thank you so much!

[BentleyOwen123]

yup using your own case will nearly always be fine, as sizing is standardized

Sounds good thanks! One thing, pcpartpicker says something isn't compatible should I trust it?

[BentleyOwen123]

[BentleyOwen123]

Ok this build has peaked my interest more than anything and is the best looking thing I have ever seen https://pcpartpicker.com/b/rVXbt6

[ParzivalAero]

Budget (including currency): 3000

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Rainbow Six Siege, COD, Apex, etc.

Other details Hello everyone! I have spent months and months building designing and looking at pc builds and out of all of them this one has peaked my interest the most. It is a little expensive but I'm willing to buy it. It's 3000 dollars with what look like amazing specs and is the best looking pc I have ever seen hands down. I would just like advice as to if this pc would run really well at high fps and refresh rate. I also wanna know if I would be able to upgrade this pc for the future. Any advice is welcome thanks guys. https://pcpartpicker.com/b/rVXbt6

The GPU is a bit dated. An RTX 4080 Super would be better and depending on model, less expensive.

It says that there are "potential issues or incompatibilities". If you check below the build list total you will see a note about the CPU needing at least a certain BIOS level.

 

If you check the motherboard specifications you will find out that the motherboard has a USB Flash BIOS button. A feature that allows for updating the BIOS without a working CPU. So the warning is moot.

Can you reccomend a better gpu?

Other details Hey guys! I have decided on the budget of 3000 dollars. I would like to play these games with the best performance possible along with an upgradable build just in case. I would also like a black style with rgb to make it look nice. I just can't seem to decide on the perfect build. 32g of RAM would be perferrable. Along with the case having glass panels on both front sides to really show off the rgb. I don't really care about the rest as long as it is the best it can possibly be with this budget and meets the other things I would like. Here's a model for what I would really like it to look like also a rx 7900 xtx would be cool for gpu along with amd ryzen 9 7950x maybe a little overkill on that part but you guys tell me if I should just go for a different one. Maybe a b650 model would be good for the motherboard idk which one tho also with wifi.

MSI Suprim is usually very good https://pcpartpicker.com/product/89LdnQ/msi-suprim-x-geforce-rtx-4080-super-16-gb-video-card-rtx-4080-super-16g-suprim-x.

 

Asus ROG Strix is also very good https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jdcgXL/asus-rog-strix-gaming-oc-geforce-rtx-4080-super-16-gb-video-card-rog-strix-rtx4080s-o16g-gaming.

 

Ultimately any RTX 4080 Super would be a decent choice.

 

[Shimejii]

If you are just gaming, 7800x3d. 7950x is pointless for gaming.

 

7900xtx isnt bad, but those 3 games dont really require the top of line line hardware to actually run.

Ok can you send a photo of what the pc looks like? And I see two builds on there what are the major differences between them?
