Budget (including currency): $2000 Canadian 

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Overwatch, FPS, modest amount of graphics designing

Hi all, looking to build a PC for my sister who games and does graphic designs on occasion. this is what i was recommend by an employee at canada computers locally:

 

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/nZyqxH

 

B560e - wifi ASUS TUF 

ryzen 7600x 

4060Ti 

gigabyte 750w modular 80+ Gold

WD Black SN850x 1tb NVME m.2

g skillz ripjaws 32gb CL36 ddr5 6400

NZXT - H5 Flow RGB case 

Deepcool LS520 AIO Cooler 

 

Total: $1750 CAD after taxes 

 

not sure how this build does in the long run but something tells me it can be tweaked. i havn't built a PC in about 4-5 years so im out of touch with the hardware. However i have lots of experience building PC's. 

 

would love some feedback. 

 

P.S. She's going for an almost all white build. 

 

thanks!

Memory looks a bit too fast and probably Intel/XMP optimised?

[STEALTlHl]

its what they had in white and it had to be DDR5, so it was either this or the same version in 6000 for CL32 for $5 cheaper.

thanks for the response! why pick the 7500f instead of 7600x , purely based on price? 

you'd recommend the 4060 Ti overall? 

why the tower fan intead of AIO? simply because it won't need that kind of cooling or just budget?

Air coolers last longer than AIO's. I was trying to bring down the price in order to fit in a 4060 Ti 16GB but the white theme killed that. =/

^^^

this but 4070s alongside a better psu which would put it at 1800 but definitely worth it considering the 4070s is a good chunk faster than the 4060ti

when you say better PSU are you referring to higher wattage? or a more reputable PSU brand? 

and any clarification as to why the different CPU? 7500f > 7600x?

higher wattage and a 10 year warranty over the 5 year warranty but mainly the latter

White is hard, but this has a better CPU and GPU.  Steer clear of any xx60 series GPU's from Nvidia.

 

Found white 6000CL30 RAM at Newegg Canada.

Would this build still work if i stayed with the ryzen 5 7600x? don't know if she'll ever fully be able to utilize or realize the benefits of the extra cores. It would also technically save her about a $150

 

the H5 Elite worth that price tag? 

 

Thank you for the reply!

Yes, it'll work just as well with the 7600x.  100% fine.

 

It's a good case but I only threw it in as it fits the budget.  Just an option.

a few people have recommended an air cooler > AIO and the explanation being longevity. would performance be better on AIO for gaming / longevity of the CPU itself? aka worth the extra $40 for the AIO i found from Deepcool?

 

thanks!

The AIO should cool a bit better and allow the CPU to boost higher, at the same temps.  It's a benefit for aesthetics as well.   It's not a huge deal but the CPU should perform a tiny little better.  IT's only a 240mm AIO so don't expect a noticeable difference in performance.

 

Make sure to PBO/CO that CPU tho, to add another temp/frequency adjustment.
