First PC build

[Frankie098]

Budget (including currency): $1000

Country: usa

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: r6 siege, gta, csgo, ark survival evolved, maybe streaming, and video streaming services.

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 plan on buying everything next month for my birthday,I don’t need any peripheral's, 1080p-1440 is fine, I also live close to the KC micro center.

No peripherals needed, i plan on buying everything next month, 1080p-1440p is fine, I live near a micro center(the kansas city location).

 

Any help is greatly appreciated thank you.

Good, that allows for a potential cheaper part prices.

 

There's 2 ways you can approach your build,

 

first, a build aimed towards e-sports games, with strong CPU for better 1% lows, where graphics aren't too demanding and usually CPU is the factor when it comes to FPS (unless the GPU is very slow obviously):

second, you could just get reasonable AM5 CPU, and pair it with a higher powered GPU for the ability of cranking up details higher and handling 1440p+ resolutions better, while maintaining FPS:

• The reason why these builds exceed 1000$ budget is because there's a chance they'll scoot closer or below it once you look for similar parts in the Microcenter.
• Also the 7600 CPU comes with a box cooler and it can serve enough cooling capacity.

Kept it below the 1000 USD mark. I don't know how cheap or expensive Micro Center is.

that's a pretty slow RAM for what you can get for 100$

The 7700x bundle looks good, that chip can be PBO/CO very well.

 

Avoid the 7600 bundle with only 16gb RAM.

This 7800x3D bundle also saves some:

Yep that should bring you near $1000, provided the CPU/GPU balance is good.

Yeah,

 

I'm also seeing some paradoxes: (though the P3 Plus is out of stock on Amazon)

If you have any questions, ask out, I could recommend slightly better SSD within 10$ range only

Not much, just overall guaranteed smoothness from bit better SSD drive. Essentially killing the possibility of waiting for the drive to read/write something.

 

And obviously lowering durations of the read/write tasks too.

though to be clear, NVMEs are fast by themself already, no matter how cheap
